As You Like It subverts the traditional rules of romance. Gender roles, nature, and politics are confused in a play that reflects on how bewildering yet utterly pleasurable life can be. The idyllic Forest of Arden provides the backdrop for Shakespeare's glorious romantic comedy of courtiers, clowns, philosophers and provincials?all bewitched by the trials and triumphs of love. As You Like It tells the story of power hungry women exiling their sisters, girls playing guys, and everyone finding love in unexpected places.
A firm favorite among Shakespeare's comedies, As You Like It runs the glorious gamut of pastoral romance - with cross-dressing and love-notes - to poetry and brilliant conversation, gentle satire, slapstick, and passion!
