As You Like It

All the World's a Stage

Having escaped a vindictive and capricious tyrant, exiles take refuge in a forest where they find freedom and love. Through an original adaptation that brings the play into the 20th century, this production highlights the clash between political oppression and individual expression. Both musical and prosaic, this timeless pastoral comedy rendered in a new light takes us on a journey into the natural world to embolden our imagination, spirit, and faith in the human condition.
