As You Like It // 4 Aug

Ken Dodd // 6 Aug

This summer, Folksy
Theatre will be touring
the UK with an openair production of
Shakespeare’s As You Like
It. Rosalind is banished
from the court and escapes
into the forest disguised as
a boy named Ganymede.
When she meets the man
she loves in the forest,
she devises an elaborate
scheme to find out the
verity of his supposed
passion for her through
the witty and mischievous
façade of Ganymede. This
wonderful Shakespearian
romantic comedy about
life, love, betrayal, faith and death, is filled with Folksy's touch of live
music, bold characters, audience interaction and plenty of laughs.

Ken Dodd’s incredible and hugely
successful career as a professional
entertainer now spans over 60 fun-filled
years. He is a comedian of unrivalled
and legendary status who has been
entertaining audiences for a lifetime of
happiness and laughter. Come and enjoy
his famous Happiness Show and you’ll
be absolutely discumknockerated (that’s
Knotty Ash for ‘over the moon’) by a
truly tattifelarius (fun-filled) evening of
laughter and songs. Ken Dodd is a multiaward winning entertainer who loves nothing more than entertaining
theatre audiences, so don’t miss his fun-filled Happiness Show for all
the family, with a supporting company, non-stop gags and a selection
of songs presented in his uniquely versatile style: everything from
ballads to grand opera!

Stratford Festival: The Taming Of The Shrew // 8 Aug

This scintillating production of Shakespeare’s boisterous comedy stirs
the emotions as the world’s greatest playwright pulls you into his most
pointed social commentary. Is the love story of Katherina (Deborah
Hay) and Petruchio (Ben Carlson) courtship or conquest? The
breakdown of a defiant spirit, or a breakthrough that liberates a heart
deprived of love? Recorded live at the Stratford Festival, Canada.
7.30pm. Price: £15
