As You Like It

By William Shakespeare

Directed by Susan Angelo

Shakespeare’s As You Like It is a witty and richly layered comedy exploring love, identity, and the freedom to redefine oneself. It is a play about love and the transformative power of forgiveness. When Rosalind is banished from court, she escapes to the Forest of Arden, where disguises, mistaken identities, and unexpected romances unfold. As characters step away from the constraints of court life, the play shines a light on the necessity of escaping such forces, with a determination to live in harmony with self, nature, and one another. Highlighting our differences not to divide us, but to celebrate them, As You Like It is a timeless reflection on connection and self-discovery. ‘
