Shakespeare in the Park: As You Like It
EXPIRED
Free admission (all visitors, all hours)
In As You Like It, Rosalind, Shakespeare’s most breathtaking heroine, and her boyfriend Orlando find themselves in the enchanted Forest of Arden, where all the world’s a stage, and where sudden infatuation is as confusing as it is beautiful.
Along with other “country copulatives,” they discover that nothing transforms, redeems, or enriches experience quite as powerfully as love. As You Like It has everything we adore about Shakespearean comedy: mistaken identity, cross-dressing, madness, mayhem, rage, lust, laughter, and of course, plenty of romance—both heartbreaking and joyous.
Directed by Daniel Sullivan, with Lily Rabe as Rosalind.
