William Shakespeare's As You Like It

Directed by Michael Scholar Jr., dramaturgy by Sindy Angel

Our production is a refugee story, a tale of people fleeing tyranny for the uncertain sanctuary of the unpopulated natural world. It is also a love story in which Rosalind falls in love with Orlando at a wrestling match. As the daughter of a banished duke, she must escape or be executed. Joined by her cousin Celia and the jester Touchstone, she disguises herself and they escape to the forest of Arden. In exile, Shakespeare’s characters redefine themselves and make a new life.
