As You Like It

Love and Longing--

As You Like it is One of William Shakespeare's best known plays. Mistaken identities and gender disguise abound. Rosalind must flee from court when she angers her uncle, who has usurped her father's throne. She disguises herself as a man and travels to the Forest of Arden where complicated love triangles arise and must be dealt with.

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
