As You Like It is one of Shakespeare’s crowdpleasing comedies, featuring all the usual hijinks of unrequited love, mistaken identity, misunderstandings, and cross-dressing.

A summer tradition in Christchurch, Summer Shakespeare at Mona Vale is a perfect reason to pack a picnic, bring a rug and a couple of cushions and settle on the gently sloping lawn in the beautiful surrounds of the Mona Vale gardens. If you don’t have the time or inclination to pack a picnic of your own, you can order hampers for one or four people from the Mona Vale Homestead.

Mona Vale, Wednesday 9 – Sunday 20 December.
