 As You Like It in repertory with King Lear

Lovers, fools, and comedy abound in As You Like It. Duchess Frederica has usurped her sister. Orlando’s brother has set him up to die. But when Rosalind flees from her aunt’s court with her cousin in tow, things get really mixed up. Long considered one of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies, King Lear, presents a tale of injustice and betrayal. Ready to retire, King Lear splits his kingdom between his daughters, promising the largest share to the one who loves him the most. What follows tears the people closest to him, and the kingdom, apart. Tickets and full performance calendar online at WorcesterShakespeareCompany.org or at the door. Adults $20, Seniors/Students $15, Children under 12 free. In case of inclement weather, the performance moves indoors. Cost: Adults $20, Seniors/Students $15, Children under 12 free
