Island Summer theatre festival 2025

as you like it

directed by Amanda Liz Cutting

Step into the wild world of As You Like It, 80s style! This high-energy reimagining of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy collides with the outrageous world of neon, spandex, and over-the-top wrestling flair. Expect big laughs, bigger hair, and a soundtrack of classic 80s hits as Rosalind and Orlando’s romantic romp unfolds in a world of loud colours, bold moves, and boombox-fuelled fun. It’s Shakespeare with shoulder pads and a killer dance break!

Robin Hood: Prince of Outlaws

by ben francis, directed by maureen robinson

Get ready for laughs, adventure, and a dash of utter silliness in Robin Hood: Prince of Outlaws! This action-packed, family-friendly romp takes the legendary tale and gives it a Monty Python twist, complete with ridiculous heroes, over-the-top villains, and plenty of sword-swinging chaos. Filled with clever wordplay, physical comedy, and heart, it’s a merry mix of daring deeds, comedic mishaps, and good old-fashioned fun for all ages.

voices in my body

murmur arts collective

Voices in My Body invites audiences to explore the complexities of the human emotional experience through the perspectives of four distinct characters. Through movement and dance, the inner voices and feelings of the characters are made visible: the part that feels social anxiety, the part that is overwhelmed by the never ending to-do list, the part that is jealous of what others have, the deeply loving part… Inspired by the real live of the choreographers of the piece and by the psychological principles of Internal Family Systems, the piece uncovers the raw and often contradictory parts of ourselves, creating a dynamic and emotional journey that will deeply resonate in each spectator.
