What is a young noblewoman to do when she and her father are banished from their home on pain of death? Rosalind retreats to the Forest of Arden where nature and love are her happy salvations. Fearful of discovery, she disguises herself as a boy, only to fall madly in love with a handsome, lovesick gentleman, Orlando.
A romantic comedy ahead of its time, Shakespeare’s As You Like It features delightful characters, mischievous encounters and deliciously witty repartee.
“Magic in the air, insightful direction and stand-out performances ... four and a half stars out of five.”
–Colin MacLean, Edmonton Sun More »
“Freshest, most interesting, fun Shakespeare interpretation I think I've ever seen!”
–Brad Stromberg, Edmonton Film Commissioner
Running time for this production is approximately 2 hours 45 minutes, including one 20-minute intermission.
