AD 793: Ousted from their homes, a faithful group Anglo-Saxons take refuge in Arden Forest as a new barbaric Viking regime begins to take root in Northumberland. Meanwhile, Rosalind is banished by new ruler Frederick, whilst Orlando, on hearing of a plot to kill him, also flees to the forest. Cue laughter, love, and confusion as Arden Forest burts into life this summer, in an 'As You Like' It unlike any other.
