About the show
Shakespeare Dice: As You Like It is an immersive adaptation of Shakespeare's romantic comedy from Dacha Theatre, performed at the Main Space. Set in a karaoke bar full of crooning cowboys, line dancing jesters and lovesick shepherds, the show celebrates the unpredictable ride of falling in love and finding yourself. Audience members roll dice to randomly cast the show each night, meaning no two performances are remotely alike. The show runs for 85 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over. Audience participation is central to the experience.
