As You Like It

Welcome to the Forest of Arden, where all the world's a stage and where an exiled Queen presides over her alternative court. When the Queen's daughter, Rosalind, is banished, she flees to the forest, with her cousin, Celia, and the jester Touchstone. There, she encounters Orlando, a fellow runaway and the man she loves. In male disguise, she undertakes to teach him about women, men and the truth about love.

"Dear Celia, I show more mirth than I am mistress of, and would you yet I were merrier? Unless you could teach me to forget a banished father, you must not learn me how to remember any extraordinary pleasure."

Rosaline
Act 1, Scene 2

As You Like It is Shakespeare's sunniest comedy, a celebration of courtship, play-acting and the natural world of seasons and change. It is directed by Rebecca Gould, director of A Midsummer Night's Dream (2013) and The Taming of the Shrew (2014), with original music by Tim Riley.
