About this event
SYNOPSIS: As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare that centers on Rosalind, who is banished from the court by her uncle, Duke Frederick. Disguised as a young man named Ganymede, she escapes to the Forest of Arden with her cousin Celia and the fool Touchstone. In the forest, they encounter Orlando, Rosalind's love, who has also fled to escape his brother's cruelty. Rosalind, still in disguise, tests Orlando's love and teaches him about true affection. The play concludes with multiple marriages, the restoration of the rightful duke, and a joyful celebration of love and harmony.
