As You Like It

“Love is merely a madness”

by William Shakespeare

September 21 - 26, 2006

Produced by The Mermaid Theatre Company in association with the Austin Shakespeare Festival.

In fear of their lives, Rosalind and Celia, flee to the Forest of Arden, where boundaries between reality and fantasy merge in Shakespeare's vibrant comedy of life and love. Sparkling with wit, this joyous tale of a girl disguised as a boy - who tempts the man she loves to fall for the boy she isn’t - is flavored with all the longing and pain of everyone’s first big romance. Uplifting, awe-inspiring and immense fun, Shakespeare's wondrous comedy is a joyous celebration of the liberating power of love and the redeeming spirit of nature.
