    As You Like It

    One of Shakespeare’s most sophisticated and bewitching comedies is full of many of his most memorable characters including the sardonic and lustful clown Touchstone, the melancholy philosopher Jacques, the love besotted Orlando and the Bard’s most brilliant and provocative heroine, Rosalind. To teach the man she desires how to love a woman, Rosalind must first disguise herself, and in the end changes the entire world around her....

    One of Shakespeare’s most sophisticated and bewitching comedies is full of many of his most memorable characters including the sardonic and lustful clown Touchstone, the melancholy philosopher Jacques, the love besotted Orlando and the Bard’s most brilliant and provocative heroine, Rosalind. To teach the man she desires how to love a woman, Rosalind must first disguise herself, and in the end changes the entire world around her. Artistic Director Rick Lombardo’s inaugural production will emphasize the transformative power of romantic love and nature’s force to heal the scars of political and technological oppression. The journey into the magical Forest of Arden – first touched by death and decay in late fall and then exploding with renewed color and life in spring – is itself a tale of the “ages of man.”

      I didn't expect to like the concept (in fact, I had a hard time beforehand figuring out what it was), but I actually really enjoyed it. There were also some phenomenal performances, notably from... Expand

      5 out of 5 stars rating "Beautifully realized production that does Shakespeare Proud"
      Review posted by: Theatre Professor from Los Gatos, CA USA, Sep 20, 2009

      This production is inventive and spectacular storytelling. The play that Shakespeare wrote over 400 years ago is not sacrificed and all of the actors integrate the language and the concept... Expand
