Sun 4 Nov 4pm
Tue 6 Nov 6:45pm

Windsor Arts Centre: Box Office: 01753 859336

Director: Kenneth Brannagh

127 mins. (screened with an intermission)

Based on the infamous light-hearted William Shakespearian pastoral comedy c.1599

Synopsis

Rosalind, the daughter of Duke Senior, is raised at the court of Duke Frederick - younger brother to Duke Senior, and then took over his dukedom - with her cousin Celia (daughter to Duke Frederick). She falls in love with a young man named Orlando, but before she can even think twice about it, she is banished by Duke Frederick, who threatens death if she comes near the court again.

As You Like It- At Windsor Arts

Bryce Dallas Howard (spooky films like ‘The Village’ and ‘Lady in the Water’ and daughter of Ron Howard), tony-award winning Kevin Kline and ‘Doctor Octopus’ Alfred Molina star in director Kenneth Branagh’s new adaptation of William Shakespeare’s comedy, As You Like It, making its debut this autumn at Windsor Arts centre.

Branagh employs a star-studded cast that also features Brian Blessed as Duke Frederick/Duke Senior, Romola Garai as Celia, Adrian Lester as Oliver, Janet McTeer as Audrey and David Oyelowo as Orlando.Also included in the cast are Richard Briers as Old Adam, Jimmy Yuill as Corin, Alex Wyndham as Silvius and Jade Jefferies as Phoebe.

Traditionally, The play is set in a duchy in France (possibly Ardennes), but most of the action takes place in a mystical location called the ‘Forest of Arden’, thought to be based upon ‘Arden’ in Warwickshire near Shakespeare’s home. The word
originally derived from the British Celtic word ardu, meaning “high land”. Branagh relocates the movie version to japan to concentrate on the mysterious and exotic landscapes.

The elaborate gender reversals in the story can present difficulties for actors and actresses but tend to give the story a very contemporary feel. In Shakespeare’s day, all parts would be played by a male actor. So the male actor (in those days)
would have to play the part of a girl -Rosalind - but disguise herself as a boy!

HBO presents the film in association with BBC Films and A Shakespeare Film Company Production. “As You Like It,” adapted for the screen and directed by Kenneth Branagh, features a design team of Tim Harvey (production) and Susannah Buxton (costumes) Jenny Shircore (makeup and hair). The film also features music composed by Patrick Doyle who has worked on many projects for
Branagh and also on scores for many films including Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Gosford Park.

“All the world’s a stage And all the men and women merely players”

The Vortex - Theatre Royal Windsor

THE VORTEX 

Theatre Royal Windsor
13 Nov to 01 Dec

Show Times:
Mon - Sat 8pm, Thurs 2.30pm & Sat 4.45pm

Box Office:
01753 853 888

Synopsis

TV and stage icon Felicity Kendal stars as ‘celebrity mother’ Florence Lancaster. Amidst the glittering decadence of fashionable London society in the late 1920’s, The Vortex centres on the tempestuous relationship between Florence and her
hedonistic son Nicky.

Written by Noel Coward in 1923 and opened on his twenty-fifth birthday at Hampstead, The Vortex was critically well-received at the time but probably makes more sense to us now as we become surrounded by hedonists and philanderers. The main character, Florence, is very recognisable to 21st century audiences. A shallow idle-rich ‘celeb’ with hardly any sense, no ethical codes and almost no perceptible skills or talents- she seems to exist only to pursue fame, money and gratuitous sexual congress. If Coward had written The Vortex now, the central character would be Hello magazine front-page material.

Felicity Kendal is universally loved for her many television comedy drama credits from The Good Life to Rosemary and Thyme. She returns to Windsor following her huge sell-out success here and in the West End in Noel Coward’s Fallen Angels.

Sir Peter Hall - (watch this space at AdPontes-Staines.com about his latest project  as director of The Rose Theatre at Kingston upon Thames)- directs a star cast.

Linda Gray ~ Terms of Endearment

Linda Gray (award winning portrayal of ‘Sue Ellen’, in the legendary TV phenomenon DALLAS) is feisty widow Aurora Greenway in this new play based on the novel and smash hit fice-times Oscar winning film.

This heartfelt comedy drama explores the tumultuous relationship between Aurora, devoted but opintionated mother, and her headstrong daughter, Emma.
As Aurora struggles to impose order on her wayward daughter's chaotic
life, she feels her own taking an unexpectedly thrilling turn as she falls deeply in love for the first time.

Hollywood star Linda Gray most recently starred as Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate both in the West End and on Broadway. She is joined
by Suranne Jones (probably best known as Karen McDonald in Coronation Street, she was also recently seen in the West End in A Few Good Men opposite Rob Lowe) and John Bowe (Prime Suspect).
