As You Like It at Ethel M. Barber Theater - Northwestern

Letting go and opening your heart are at the center of this contemporary production of Shakespeare's As You Like It, the romantic comedy that established the genre. The daughter of an exiled duke, protagonist Rosalind 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 ... and discovers both her would-be husband and herself in an instant. Violence and isolation give way to love, communion and oh so much song and dance. Experience Northwestern University's production of As You Like It, staged by MFA Directing candidate Risher Reddick, at The Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts.
