Playing in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Studio Theater
Sept. 2 – Sept. 30, 2023
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Michael Hernandez-Phillips
In one of Shakespeare’s most delightful comedies, we are thrown into the depths of the Forest of Arden, only now it is the Central Park of the 1950s, filled street vendors and beatniks as Rosalind, Orlando, and a band of love-struck, eccentric characters flee the rigidness and paranoia of the 5th Avenue elite. As they engage in sibling rivalry, unrequited love, assassination plots, mistaken identity, and wrestling, this roller-coaster of emotions and errors will have you rooting for fools and pulling for redemption. With some of Shakespeare’s most memorable dialogue, As You Like It will allow you to escape the pressures of real life into the fantasy of romantic froth.
