Following their confirmed run at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury on March 23, 24, and 25, 2027, the company is set to bring this bold new production to Soulton. This provisional date falls on the weekend of Shakespeare’s birthday and is expected to be co-timed with the annual Macmillan Cancer Support Bluebell Walk through Soulton Wood—the historic woodland that inspired Shakespeare’s As You Like It.
About the Company
Established in 1993 as a not-for-profit organisation, Shropshire Youth Theatre (SYT) is dedicated to providing high-quality acting workshops and staging fresh, inventive interpretations of classic texts. Led by experienced theatre professionals and under the artistic direction of Lisa Morris, SYT previously brought their memorable 1990s-inspired production of As You Like It (Arden ’94) to Soulton.

May 8, 2026, the Shropshire Youth Theatre ensemble makes history by returning As You Like It to the very landscape and family home of the figures who inspired its creation
