As You Like It
5 March, 2019 - 9 March, 2019
Bard in the Yard 2019 was As You Like It. This was the second time the Troupe had produced the play although the previous production had been in 2001 when we still performed in people’s back yards with book in hand. The 2019 production was directed by Anne Manchester.
Publicity 2019
I’d like to let you know that Eastbourne’s Butterfly Creek Theatre Troupe is putting on its summer Bard in the
Yard Shakespeare production in the first week of March.
This year (our 23rd annual Shakespeare production) Anne Manchester is directing As You Like It. She’s giving the Bard’s
romantic comedy a contemporary New Zealand twist.
As in previous years, we will stage the performance in the enclosed Muritai School yard (166 Muritai Road, Eastbourne,
Lower Hutt). The lights will come up as the sun sets to create a lovely magical atmosphere. Of course, we can’t always
guarantee the weather so best to be prepared with something warm. If it rains we move inside to the floor of the adjacent
school hall.
There are only five performances – Tuesday 5 – Saturday 9 March. Doors (and the bar) open at 7 pm for a 7.30 start.
Tickets are general admission only – so come early for a good seat.
Tickets can be purchased online here or bought at Rona Gallery in Eastbourne. But be quick because seating is limited.
Hope to see you there!
