The production raised \u00a38,000 for trans charity Not a Phase and sold 2,300 tickets.<\/p>\n This production of As You Like It will take place at The Space Theatre in London, while being live-streamed globally. A production of Twelfth Night will also be staged in Barcelona on 1 August. This will mark the first time the company has taken its work outside of the UK.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Page hailed the production as honoring Shakespeare\u2019s skill for writing \u201ccharacters who defy easy categories.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShakespeare wrote characters who defy easy categories long before we had language for it \u2013 and that feels as relevant now as it ever has. Trans What You Will is proving that these stories have always belonged to us, and I\u2019m honored to support that work. Can\u2019t wait to share this with an audience,\u201d said Page.<\/p>\n\n
