Summer Shakespeare Trust Tauranga presents 'As You Like It' by William Shakespeare and Directed by Pascal Tibbits. Held over 8 nights between the 5-15th February 2026.
Held in the magnificent amphitheatre in the Te Puna Quarry Park, the setting is perfect to tell the tale of love's many disguises and the beauty of finding oneself amidst natures splendor.
This beloved play invites you into a whimsical world of love, laughter, and self-discovery. Set in the lush Forest of Arden, you’ll meet a colorful cast of characters, each navigating the twists and turns of romance and friendship.
As the story unfolds, watch as Rosalind, the clever and spirited heroine, disguises herself to explore the complexities of love and identity. With witty banter, unexpected encounters, and a touch of magic, As You Like It reminds us that life is a stage filled with possibilities.
