The Three Inch Fools - As You Like It - at Helmsley Walled Garden
The Three Inch Fools are back and rushed off their feet performing one of Shakespeare’s most chaotic comedies. With musical instruments in hand, our hapless troupe of actors hit the road with a production ofendless costume changes and confusion.
Join us this summer, across the UK, as The Fools take on Shakespeare’s story of rustic revelry in the Forestof Arden. Rosalind and Celia are on the run, Orlando is practising his passionate yet pathetic attempts atpoetry, and a cohort of boisterous lords are rubbing shoulders with a company of country bumpkins. Takingon far too many characters between them, we present three exhausted actors trying to pull off thisimpossible feat.
As Shakespeare so famously said: love is merely a madness, and so is this production.
