Directed and adapted by Christia Ward, As You Like It is a comedic Shakespearean play about love, identity and transformation. Rosalind, the daughter of the exiled Duke Senior, is banished from the court by her usurping uncle, Duke Frederick. Disguised as a young man named Ganymede, she flees to the Forest of Arden with her cousin Celia, who assumes the guise of Aliena. In the forest, Rosalind encounters Orlando, a young man who has fallen in love with her and convinces him to woo "Ganymede" to win her love. As various romantic entanglements unfold, identities are mistaken, and characters wrestle with love and self-discovery. The play ends in reconciliation, with multiple marriages and the restoration of Duke Senior to power, celebrating love in its many forms and the joy of self-acceptance.Ìý
