As You Like It is one of Shakespeare’s most familiar and best loved comedies. Written around 1600, it is an enduring tale of love, betrayal, retribution and redemption. Merriment abounds in this charming hodgepodge of comedic characters, mistaken identities, misunderstandings and unusual wisdom. Follow Rosalind and Celia as they flee in exile from the evil Duke Frederick’s court into the Forest of Arden where Rosalind assumes the identity of a young lad, Ganymede, and finds her true love in Orlando, also hiding in the forest. They all meet up with the good Duke Senior and his entourage. But, for her own safety, she can’t tell Orlando or anyone else who she really is and instead Ganymede helps Orlando to practice his courtship of Rosalind by pretending to be her. After much hilarity, all is revealed, the natural order is restored and true love prevails.
