Meet Rosalind – witty, brilliant and brave. When she meets Orlando sparks fly, but before their romance can flourish, she is exiled by her tyrannical uncle, who deems her too popular, too beloved by the people.
Now an outlaw, Rosalind disguises herself as a boy named Ganymede and escapes to the forest with her cousin, Celia. Orlando has his own problems, so he flees to the forest too. And when their paths collide, Rosalind, in disguise, sets about teaching Orlando how to love.
But the Forest of Arden doesn’t play by the rules. Among the runaway lovers, melancholy philosophers, and locals with terrible romantic advice, something dangerous starts to happen. They become themselves.
As You Like It is recommended for audiences aged 13+.
