Join Rosalind, Orlando, Celia and Touchstone as they escape to the forest of Arden in Shakespeare’s antic comedy focusing on love, loss and redemption. With a hilarious love triangle, mistaken identities and an exciting wrestling match, this production is sure to delight. Featuring one of Shakespeare’s strongest heroines, thought-provoking family dynamics and the famous “All the world’s a stage…” speech, As You Like It is a perfect introduction to Shakespeare’s works, as well as further the exploration with those already familiar.
This production, a one-hour version thoughtfully cut from Shakespeare’s original texts, features walk-on roles for audience volunteers to join in the fun and concludes with a short Q&A session with the cast.
The San Francisco Shakespeare Festival makes the words and themes of Shakespeare accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, financial status or education level.
