Featuring Rosalind one of Shakespeare's most likeable and strong female protagonists As You
Like It is a comedic play centred around concealed identity love exile and artifice. Banished
from the court by her uncle Rosalind flees to the forest with her cousin Celia and her jester
joining her already exiled father and disguising herself as a boy. In the guise of a young man
she instructs her would-be lover Orlando in the ways of love and in doing so allows Shakespeare
to explore the dynamics of the city and the country as well as the sexual politics of the time.
