As You Like It

Thursday, October 6, 2022 - 7:30 pm

One of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies and one of the most-performed plays in the history of theatre, As You Like It is a wondrous exploration of love, betrayal and redemption. Featuring palace intrigues, disguised heroes, beautiful verses and the world’s most famous love quadrangle, As You Like It is at turns romantic and witty, dark, and satirical. It is ultimately one of Shakespeare’s most humane and daring plays.
