Welcome to the Forest of Arden
East London Shakespeare Festival is committed to bringing high quality and accessible Shakespeare to East London audiences.
This joyful, family-friendly outdoor production blends contemporary London culture with the Bard’s wit, romance, and secret identities. Follow Rosalind, Orlando, and a vibrant cast of characters as they navigate love and self-discovery in a Forest of Arden reimagined as a lively festival of music, cabaret, and revelry.
With ELSF’s signature high-energy numbers, slapstick comedy, and audience participation, this is Shakespeare for everyone! Alongside a community engagement programme with lots of opportunities to get involved..
It will include ELSF’s trademark high-energy numbers, slapstick comedy characters for our younger audiences to enjoy, and a classic playlist including P!nk, Katy Perry, My Chemical Romance, Lady Gaga, as well as original music by Sonum Batra.
We hope you enjoy the party as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

Director's Note
Directing the ELSF summer tour is truly the highlight of my year and I cannot wait to get started on As You Like It. ELSF has now taken on Romeo & Juliet, and three of the Bard's most famous comedies (Dream, Twelfth Night & Much Ado) and As You Like It felt like the natural next choice - a magical forest, characters in disguise, several juicy romances and a strong & sparky female lead... it really has a bit of everything!
Finding the richness of these characters and exploring the relationships is always my favourite
part of the process, and we have a phenomenal cast to bring them to life. I also love the theme of identity in this play - with so many of the character's in disguise, and yet discovering a part of themselves through their alter-egos. And I am particularly exciting about creating the world of 'The Forest of Arden.' Duke Senior has rejected superficial court and made a home in the forest, which has become a sanctuary for outsiders & nomads - and curated a creative hub which in our version will be a vibrant underground cabaret scene.
Huge thank you to our phenomenal designer Lucy Fowler and by set builder Andy Hollingworth, whose clever set not only creates the opposing worlds of Town vs. Forest, but is also built to withstand all the British weather can throw at it!
Anyone who has been to an ELSF show knows how important music and movement is - our sensational musical director Sonum Batra has created an amazing score (original and arranged), with movement & moves to match by our genius movement director, Meg McCarthy.
Thanks as always to my co-artistic director Ursula Early for all the hard and non-glamourous graft that goes on behind the scenes.

HOXTON COMMUNITY GARDENS
Thank you to Max Mason & Paul Fleming at Hoxton Trust.
The Hoxton Trust exists to make the area of Hoxton and Shoreditch a better place for everyone who lives or works there.
We do this by supporting those most economically and socially disadvantaged with opportunities to build their levels of skills, knowledge and confidence; by providing free legal advice and assistance to those without the means to otherwise obtain it; and by managing and maintaining a community garden for the health, wellbeing and general enjoyment of everyone.
Our award-winning garden is a private space for the benefit of everyone who lives and works in the area. It is maintained by our volunteers and is not a council-run park. The garden provides an oasis of beautiful green space in a densely populated urban area where more than 80% of people rent a flat (3 times the national average), most without their own garden. As well as a place to be, the garden hosts numerous groups and community events that help reduce isolation, break down barriers and boost social cohesion.

LLOYD PARK
Thank you to Ellie Mortimer at Greenspace, for allowing us to use the beautiful Lloyd Park.
Right in the heart of Walthamstow, Lloyd Park is the epicentre of many wonderful events and community activities.
Lloyd Park was first opened by the Victorians on 28 July 1900. It was named in honour of the Lloyd family, who lived in Water House (now the William Morris Gallery). When they moved, the family gifted their land to the Council, with the condition that it be turned into a public park. The Council also bought additional land, in 1899 and 1912 (now Aveling Fields) and the park became the size it is today.
Prior to it being a park, Aveling Fields was farmland and today’s paths run along original field boundaries. The southern area of the park was private gardens for Water House; a gentleman’s country residence. Other famous inhabitants include William Morris; the gardens helped inspire his love of nature, which he expressed in his designs.
We can trace the history of the land as far back as the medieval period, when it’s thought the moat was built; originally to defend a house that would have been situated within it.
You can find out more about the park’s history, by looking at the twelve interpretation panels we have in the park. They’ve got lots of fascinating old photographs and maps of the park and beautiful William Morris inspired designs.To commemorate the centenary of Lloyd Park, a time capsule was buried in the lawn outside the William Morris Gallery on 28 July 2000.
Riverside East is East London’s newest food and drink destination in the heart of Stratford’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Our venue is perfect for those looking for a relaxed and fun-filled dining experience, where the food offering provides something for everyone, with all day café dishes, street-food, fine dining, bottomless brunch and Sunday roasts. Our spaces are also hireable for private events.

VALENTINES PARK
Thank you to Janice Hunte from Vision and the wonderful team at Valentine Park's Gardeners Cottage Cafe.
Valentines Park is our premiere award winning park. It has been given a Green Flag Award and has been voted top 10 in the country in the People's Choice Award on 5 occasions.
The park was originally the parkland to Valentines Mansion and Gardens.
Valentines Mansion was built in around 1696 - the Council acquired the house in 1912. Since then, the mansion has been home to wartime refugees, a hospital, a public health centre, and a council housing department.
After standing empty for 15 years, Valentines was restored in 2009 with Redbridge council and Heritage Lottery funds, and strong community support to create the historic but contemporary venue it is today.

It was redesigned and opened to the public thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund in 2017.
LANGTHORNE PARK AMPHITHEATRE
Thank you to Helen Crockford from Leytonstone Toy Library.
Our mission is to provide a safe and stimulating space for families with under 5s to play, learn and interact and loan toys which don't cost the Earth. We are woking in partnership with the local community to run the Friends of Langthorne Park.
The Old Bowling Green in SPRINGFIELD PARK
Thank you to Amarah White from Hackney Council.
Springfield Park officially opened as a public park in 1905 and takes its name from its unique geology. The park was formed from the grounds of three private houses, of which only Springfield House (The White House) remains.
The park is 14.73 hectares in size, with formal gardens and conservation areas and has extensive views across Walthamstow Marshes.
The park holds a Green Flag award. Green Flags are given to the best green spaces in the country and are awarded each year to make sure the quality of the green space remains high.
Royal Museums Greenwich comprises the Royal Observatory, Cutty Sark, National Maritime Museum and Queen’s House. We are also home to The Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre and the Caird Library and Archive.
Together we’re dedicated to enriching people’s understanding of the sea, the exploration of space, and Britain's role in world history.
A new type of venue, Big Penny Social is all about community - it’s a pub, arts centre and town square all rolled into one. A place to eat, drink and be entertained; for all ages and every walk of life; a place to enjoy a quick pint, or a place that’s easily large enough for you to host birthday parties and after-work drinks for the whole team, watch live sports, entertain the family or gather for a national celebration.
Located just off Blackhorse Lane, Walthamstow, Big Penny Social is enormous - with a total capacity of 1400, it’s got a beer hall, versatile events space and one of the largest sunny beer gardens in East London.
The food and drink menu focuses on seasonal ingredients and local producers, headlined by a rotating selection of beers, sourdough pizzas and Sunday roasts. Everyone’s needs are catered for, with alcohol-free beer on tap, a huge selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes, plenty of choices for kids, and options for gluten-free (and other) special diets.
A wide programme of live events, from live music, big-screen sports and movie nights to family discos, craft markets and comedy – plus free ping pong, pool, table football and board games – ensures there is fun and entertainment for one and all.
A warm welcome awaits everyone (and their dog!) to enjoy great beer, great food and great times spent together. Because that's what Big Penny is all about.
We have been hugely lucky to have our fair share of fairies, who have made this project possible.
