New York City
If a nasty uncle banishes you from court, it’s wise to take your favorite cousin and a clown along for the ride. When Rosalind and her companions seek refuge in the Forest of Arden, they encounter an unlikely lot of woodland denizens–including Orlando, the man Rosalind loves. Disguised as a boy, Rosalind teaches Orlando how to woo–her! Celebrating one of Shakespeare’s most glorious feminine creations, this joyful comedy is filled with identities at play and shrewd observations about human nature.
