All the world’s a stage! This fourth annual free-to-the-public event brings Shakespeare’s madcap story of love, mistaken identity, and finding oneself, AS YOU LIKE IT, to five locations around the Triangle. It’s love at first sight for spirited Rosalind and frustrated wrestler-turned-poet Orlando, but when the Duke banishes Rosalind from court, Orlando must brave the vast and mysterious Forest of Arden to bring her home. But Rosalind, disguised as a boy, is enjoying her adventures too much to go home just yet – especially when she might just find her long-lost father in the forest’s depths. Can Orlando’s truly awful poetry lead her back to love? Will Rosalind’s father reclaim his rightful dukedom? Filled with witty banter, unforgettable characters, and some of Shakespeare’s most beautiful poetry, As You Like It is a celebration of nature, love, and the power of finding yourself in a changing world. Set in a fictionalized North Carolina and infused with local music, this abridged version is the perfect way to experience the magic of Shakespeare under the open sky or on your busy schedule.
