As You Like It to Be Performed in Chiswick Today


Shakespeare in the Park forced to change venue due weather


The parish centre will be transformed into the Forest of Arden

August 27, 2023

Ealing’s loss is Chiswick’s gain as performances of As You Like It have had to be transferred at short notice due to predicted bad weather.

A Shakespeare in the Park performance of As You Like It was due to take place in the open air by Pitzhanger Manor and Gallery this Sunday (27 August) but are now being staged in the Catholic Centre Parish Hall.

It is the third year running that Shakespeare in the Park has staged a production in collaboration with local vocational Drama School Drama Studio London.

This delightful comedy tells the tale of the journey to love between Rosalind and Orlando.

The matinee performance on Sunday runs from 2pm to 3:15pm and the evening performance is from 5pm to 6.15pm.

Tickets cost £10 plus a small booking fee or £7 for concessions. An extra donation is appreciated to allow a Living Wage to be paid to the creatives involved.

With good weather predicted on Bank Holiday Monday at the moment, the play is expected to return to the green behind the Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery in Walpole Park.
