As You Like It

Drat those Elizabethan court politics. When Rosalind’s uncle banishes her from the palace, she, her cousin Celia and the court jester, Touchstone, flee to the Forest of Arden, where they soon find themselves amusingly entangled in a rather beguiling game of love, deceit, desire and mistaken identity. Join us as New York favorite The Acting Company (Henry V, New Vic 2009) brings Shakespeare’s lushly lighthearted comedy AS YOU LIKE IT to The New Victory as part of their 40th anniversary season. Directed by Pig Iron Theatre Company’s Dan Rothenberg, ye olde Shakespearean saga transforms in an unexpected, eccentric and frolicsome new production.
