OVO’s most beloved award-winning show returns for a 10th anniversary production.

1967. Pressured by the generation gap, lovers Rosalind and Orlando escape the city and journey to the Forest of Arden where they become entangled in a beguiling game of love, lust and mistaken identity.
This vibrant and uplifting interpretation of Shakespeare’s glorious comedy is a magical trip to the summer of love, complete with a live soundtrack featuring The Mamas and the Papas, the Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix, the Small Faces and many more.
