As You Like It

One of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies, As You Like It, is coming to a park near you! As You Like It has been revered by critics for its clever subversion of the traditional rules of romance and gender roles. Typical in Shakespeare’s work, the play centers on deception, murder and, of course, love. The young Rosalind and her cousin escape into the forest of Arden, where she finds Orlando. Rosalind, disguised as a boy shepherd, vows to cure Orlando of his love for Rosalind. As personas slip, confusion and hilarity ensue.
