The Special Connection to “As You Like It”
The performances of As You Like It holds a profound significance for this estate. Soulton Hall was the home of Sir Rowland Hill, the man widely recognized by scholars as the inspiration for the character “Old Sir Rowland” in the play.

Watching this story unfold on the very land connected to its historical roots creates an atmosphere that you simply cannot find anywhere else. It is more than a play; it is a homecoming.
