All the world’s a stage… Most people are familiar with this line, first uttered in Shakespeare’s As You Like It. The Royal Shakespeare Company’s 2019 production of As You Like It stars rising stars in the theater including Lucy Phelps. The story follows lovers Rosalind and Orlando who, after being forced into exile, become entangled in a beguiling game of love, lust and mistaken identity.
Why Watch This
“The production captures the stark contrast between the cold, dangerous court and the liberating landscape of the Forest of Arden, a transformative space where social hierarchies dissolve. At the center is Rosalind, whose disguise as the young man Ganymede lets her test Orlando's love, driving the play's sophisticated romantic dialogue and gender-bending comedy.”
