As You Like It

In Shakespeare’s beloved comedy a perfect pair of lovers, both banished, seek refuge where they meet in the Forest of Arden. Only one complication prevents their love from flourishing, the lovesick Rosalind is disguised as a man. As she teaches Orlando how to woe a women, her frustration yields to high comedy in this tale of cross-dressing and mistaken identity. Filled with poetry, song, slapstick humor, and shrewd observations about human nature, As You Like It is widely considered Shakespeare’s most perfectly constructed comedy. It is a delightful entertainment for a summer evening.
