About the Play
Banished by her usurping uncle, Rosalind seeks refuge in the Forest of Arden, where her father, Duke Senior, holds court with his followers. There, disguised as a young squire, she instructs Orlando, the man she secretly loves, in the ways of a woman’s heart – only to acquire a new and unexpected admirer.
Full of wit, wisdom and song, and featuring one of Shakespeare’s most engaging heroines, this is high romantic comedy at its richest and most delightful.
Content Advisory Suitable for all ages. The opening scenes in the court of the usurping Duke Frederick are dark in tone, evoking the atmosphere of a fascist regime.
