Synopsis

Exiled by Duke Fredrick, who has seized her fathers throne, the witty and vivacious Rosalind disguises herself as a shepherd and flees to the Forest of Ardenwhere her father now livesalong with her cousin Celia and the court jester Touchstone. Banished by his jealous older brother, the humble and chivalrous Orlando escapes to the same forest with his faithful servant Adam. What happens when Orlando, who loves Rosalind, comes across the shepherd? A remarkable pastoral comedy, William Shakespeares As You Like It presents the various types of love in all its splendour. Full of enchantment, vitality, peace, joy, and merriment, this drama of artifice, gender reversals, exile, and homoeroticism is a complete delight. It continues to remain a favourite.
