Director Calixto Bieito was featured talking about creating Forests for the World Shakespeare Festival, and shows preparations for the production.

Composed from original verse from Shakespeare’s woodland and heath scenes, Forests takes audiences from As You Like It’s Forest of Arden, through to the moving trees of Macbeth’s Birnam Wood, and ending in the bare wilderness of King Lear’s cliffs of Dover – a vivid theatrical journey from the calmness of paradise to the uncertainties of purgatory and finally into the flames of hell.
