To open their 50th Anniversary Season in Barboursville, Four County Players, in collaboration with Barboursville Vineyards, are proud to present Shakespeare at the Ruins: As You Like It by Williams Shakespeare, directed by John Holdren, running July 15 through July 30 at the Historic Barboursville Ruins.

About the Play: “We that are true lovers run into strange capers”—these words, spoken by Touchstone the “motley fool,” might stand as a motto for As You Like It. Women disguised as men, mistaken identities, love at first sight, amorous shepherds, impossible coincidences, multiple marriages, and (especially) music and song—if that’s what you enjoy in a Shakespearean comedy, then this play should be very much as you like it.

William Shakespeare’s As You Like It opens July 15, 2022, and runs Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at the Historic Barboursville Ruins through July 30, 2022. Gates open at 5:30PM, with performances starting at 7PM. Tickets are $25 for adults and $23 for seniors & students. Tickets may be purchased online or through the theater’s Box Office. Tickets must be purchased in advance. All seats are general admission.

Four County Players is Central Virginia’s Longest-Running Community Theater, and prides itself on being a cultural destination for Charlottesville and the surrounding areas. For more information or to purchase tickets, please call the Box Office at 540-832-5355, visit our website at www.fourcp.org, or our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/fourcountyplayers.
