When Rosalind, the daughter of the exiled Duke is banished by her usurping uncle, she and her cousin Celia flee to the Forest of Arden in the guise of a shepherd boy, Ganymede, with Celia as her sister. In the forest she encounters not only her exiled father, but a host of diverse characters and lovers, including her own love, Orlando who is whiling away his own escape from a tyrannical brother by decorating the forest trees with badly written poetry to her.
In the guise of Ganymede, Rosalind challenges the strength and
sincerity of Orlando’s love and undertakes to “cure” him of his “infatuation” by pretending to be his lover. Along the way, she and her companions find that love takes many forms, and is no respecter of social norms, status, gender or even common sense. Filled with memorable characters and witty language, As You Like It is a delight for actors and audiences alike.
