Ramshackle Pop-Up Cinema is back with a new Shakespeare screening from the Globe Theatre. Tickets for the screening (including a splendid full afternoon tea by Ryde Lions) are £10 each. As there are only 40 tickets available we kindly ask that you pre-book and pre-pay. Please call Judith on (01983) 875738 or email her on [email protected] to reserve seats. Half of all proceeds go to Ryde Lions to support their local charities.

Thea Sharrock’s irresistible 2009 production of Shakespeare’s popular romantic comedy stirs wit, sentiment, intrigue and love into a charming confection which challenges the traditional rules of romance. At its heart, a feisty but feminine Rosalind (Naomi Frederick), in love with the endearingly naïve Orlando (Jack Laskey), uses her disguise as Ganymede to counsel him playfully in the art of wooing. Distraction is provided by Dominic Rowan, a remarkably funny Touchstone, and Tim McMullan, whose sonorous tones are perfectly suited to the lugubrious wit of Jaques. Filmed in High Definition.

***** Quentin Letts (Daily Mail): ‘Thea Sharrock’s take on As You Like It certainly obliges. The thing zips along, the actors are plainly loving it and there is just the right dose of cheeky modernity and interaction with the ‘groundlings’ ( the audience members standing in the pit)…Miss Sharrock sent an audience of visitors into the London night abuzz with her vivid, funny, accessible show. It was all immensely cheering.’

**** Charles Spencer (The Telegraph): Thea Sharrock’s enchanting production of As You Like It is full of mischief and sexual attraction…almost every role comes to life in a production that combines great gales of audience laughter with magical moments of emotional depth when the whole house seems to be holding its breath.

Doors open 2.00pm and the performance ends at approximately 5.30pm.
