Ever consider leaving it all behind? Duke Senior has done just that. Forced into exile by his brother, Duke Senior has embraced the Forest of Arden as his home and left the rat race of the royal courts behind. We invite you to join us and leave it all behind too! But we digress. Back at court, the Duke’s daughter Rosalind, who was allowed to remain because of her friendship with her cousin Celia, is now perceived as a threat. Rosalind flees with Celia (BFF) and Touchstone (the clown) to seek refuge with the denizens of Arden, including Orlando, the man Rosalind loves. Disguised as a boy, Rosalind teaches Orlando how to woo—her! So grab your spouse or your BFFs and join us for the most spellbinding, contemporary interpretation of what the NY Times hails as “Shakespeare’s finest comedy.”
Sibling rivalry, royals in exile, mistaken identities, cross dressing, and love at first sight, all make an appearance in this bewitching and sophisticated comedy about freeing oneself from the shackles of technology and finding oneself in nature. The actors will be texting onstage, and you can too, during intermission and after the show!
Approx. Performance Run Time: 2 hours and 42 minutes, plus a 15 minute intermission.
