THE production of As You Like It will still be run on Thursday evening, despite ongoing rain across Bathurst.
The annual outdoor event at Abercrombie House features actors from the Bathurst Shakespeare Players.
Producer of the show, Christoper Morgan, said the show will still run on Thursday, November 16 even if the rain continues.
He said the entire cast and crew will be moved indoors to the ballroom, with everyone who has purchased a ticket still invited to the show.
However, Mr Morgan said if this does happen he offers ticket holders to this show only an opportunity to come along another night.
We want to give everyone the opportunity to see it as it should be under lights outside.

“We want to give everyone the opportunity to see it as it should be under lights outside,” he said.
“We will honour the tickets at any any other show.”

Original story
TICKETS are selling fast for this year’s production of Shakespeare in the garden at Abercrombie House.
The Bathurst Shakespeare Players are back for their fourth season, and this year actors will bring As You Like It to life thanks to the assistance of director Libby Daniewska and producer Christopher Morgan
“[It] is great fun and very entertaining … Shakespeare deals with the difference between city and country life,” Mr Morgan said of the play.
Some of Shakespeare’s most well-known plays have been staged in the past and Mr Morgan said there was always tremendous interest in the outdoor theatre event.
“The success has been based on the magic combination of great acting, clever directors such as Libby Daniewska and also Zoe Newman, a unique, historic and beautiful setting,” he said.
