⭐ JONATHAN GROFF TO LEAD ALL-MALE RSC PRODUCTION OF AS YOU LIKE IT ⭐
Tony Award-winning Broadway star Jonathan Groff will lead the joyful new RSC production of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, it has been announced.
Groff will make his RSC debut as Rosalind in Shakespeare’s most sweet-natured comedy, where love is love – no matter where it falls.
Rosalind is banished from the court of Duke Frederick – but not before she and young Orlando fall for each other. Seeking out her exiled father in the Forest of Arden with her devoted cousin, Celia, Rosalind disguises herself as a young man, Ganymede.
In fear of his own life, Orlando also escapes to the forest and soon runs into Ganymede, who pledges to cure his lovesickness. But in order to do so, Orlando has to woo her… or rather, he has to woo ‘him’. Then the games commence.
Daniel Evans directs an all-male cast in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
The creative team also includes set design by Anisha Fields, costume design by Colin Richmond, lighting design by Ryan Day, movement direction by Michela Meazza and casting direction by Charlotte Sutton CDG.
AS YOU LIKE IT is supported by RSC Production Circle Supporters Shriti Vadera and Richard and Minette Watson.
AS YOU LIKE IT will play the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, running from 26th September – 7th November 2026, tickets go on general sale from 18th March 2026 – 10am.
