Wurtele Thrust Stage

A gender-bending Shakespeare comedy

In this charming romantic comedy that centers on Rosalind and Orlando, everything seems to get turned around: lords and ladies are banished from court, brothers are at odds and guises abound in the Forest of Arden. Set in the here and now with the same great Shakespeare text, this amusing and often-musical world of royalty, rebels and clowns comes together in the end to celebrate four weddings between some of the Bard’s most beloved characters.

Three things to know

  • As You Like It is the most musical of Shakespeare’s plays.
  • Rosalind is among the largest female roles in the Bard’s canon.
  • It’s set in the here and now with the same great Shakespeare text.
