British fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood was at the Rose Theatre in Kingston this week, watching Stephen Unwin’s production of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It.

“As always, it is such a thrilling experience to go to the Rose Theatre," she said, in an online review on her website.

"Last night we saw As You Like It which was enchanting. Good and bad characters who become good are banished to the forest and there is every kind of relationship and philosophy.

"You can see how the film with Marilyn Monroe Some Like It Hot is modelled on the cross-dressing."

As You Like It plays at the Rose Theatre in Kingston until Saturday March 26. Tickets are available, priced �8 to �28.50, and can be booked by calling 0871 230 1552 or online at www.rosetheatrekingston.org
