'All the world's a stage, and all the men and women, merely players.' As You Like It is one of the great comedies by William Shakespeare. When Rosalind is banished from the court by her usurping uncle, she takes on the appearance of a boy and travels with her cousin Celia and the jester Touchstone to the Forest of Arden. There she finds her love, Orlando, and she and agrees to teach him (dressed in her boy's clothes) how to woo a woman. Themes of love, forgiveness, mistaken identity, and the preciousness of life are explored in this delightful story.
