RICHMOND Castle will double as a stage tomorrow night when the Norman ruin becomes an imposing backdrop for a performance of Shakespeare's As You Like It, which features Andrew Crabb and Morag Brownlie as Orlando and Rosalind.

Theatre Set Up promises authentic costume, bringing the era of Richard the Lionheart back to life, as well as live music penned by The Bard himself. The audience is invited to take a picnic to enjoy from 6.30pm with the performance starting an hour later. Tickets cost £8.50 and can be booked by telephoning 0870 333 1183 or (01748) 822493.
