As You Like It

“There may be no such thing as too much Shaina Taub” –The New York Times

Taub and Woolery breathe new life into a Shakespearean comedy with their adaptation of As You Like It! Just as he discovers he is love-struck by the lovely Rosalind, Orlando is driven out of the kingdom by the dictatorial Duke Frederick and forced to seek asylum in the Forest of Arden. Soon thereafter, Rosalind and cousin Celia are also banished and, fearing for their safety, decide to disguise themselves as men before venturing into the wood. Once there, the three refugees find acceptance amongst the castaways and their leader, the benevolent Duke Senior.

Originally premiering at America’s Public Theater and earning a New York Times Critics’ Pick in 2017, As You Like It takes the heart of Shakespeare’s text, adds an original folk score by Shaina Taub, and transforms it into what The Daily Beast calls “a celebration of community, difference, and diversity.”
