The Renaissance Theatre Company presents As You Like It
AS YOU LIKE IT
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Bill Kershner
at the Renaissance Theatre,
1022 Commerce Street, Lynchburg.
Rosalind, daughter of a banished Duke, is forced to flee the court and
enter the Forest of Arden when her uncle threatens to have her killed.
Accompanied by her cousin Celia, Rosalind disguises herself as a man
for safety's sake. The disguise comes in handy when Rosalind tests the
devotion of her noble admirer Orlando, another exile, and teaches him
lessons of the heart. Some of the Bard's most poetic language flows as
a merry and melancholy series of misunderstandings, gender confusions,
and mistaken identities unfolds amidst court exiles and forest natives.
With Rosalind's wit leading the way, will the forces of true love and
justice eventually triumph? Join us for this classic Shakespearean
comedy and watch "all the world" on our stage!
