USC Bing Theatre (Los Angeles, CA)
Escape with Rosalind and Celia into the Forest of Arden, a world where desire is turned upside-down, women disguise themselves as men and “love is merely a madness.” As You Like It boasts one of Shakespeare’s most vibrant heroines in Rosalind, the beautiful daughter of an exiled duke who falls madly in love with the dashing Orlando. When she’s banished from the duke’s court, Rosalind disguises herself as a boy and flees to the forest. Along the way, Rosalind, Orlando and the other motley characters fill the forest of Arden with music, dancing and pure romance, encountering comic twists and turns on a merry romp toward an eventual happy ending. Through mischievous misunderstandings, pleasing poetry and hilarious happenstance, USC School of Dramatic Arts’ production of As You Like It shows that the forces of romance and justice can make an out-of-kilter world right again.
