INTERNATIONAL professional theatre company Theatre Set Up will present Shakespeare's As You Like It, in the grounds of Lacock Abbey on June 11.

The performance will be in the romantic style of the period, with music to match.

Theatre Set Up performs the plays of Shakespeare with the same minimalist arrangement of cast and setting as Shakespeare's own company, the King's Men, while making theatre in historic buildings and gardens.

This production of As You Like It will be performed by eight company members in period costume with the Abbey's southern face as a performance backdrop.

The gates will open at 6pm and visitors are encouraged to bring along a picnic. Tickets are available from the National Trust box office on (01985) 843601, at £10 adults and £5 for children.

The performance starts at 7pm.
