SUMMARY:AS YOU LIKE IT
DESCRIPTION:William Shakespeare’s AS YOU LIKE IT\nPlaying in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Studio Theater \nSept. 2 – Sept. 30\, 2023 \nBy William Shakespeare \nDirected by Michael Hernandez-Phillips \nIn 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.

She has good intentions but also loves to play games with the lives of those she cares about. (Part requires a British accent.) \nMR. GEORGE KNIGHTLY (M\, mid 30s – early 40s) A witty\, rational\, and charitable gentleman who always maintains a sense of integrity. He is dear friends with the Woodhouse family. He is the only one that manages to stand up to Emma and eventually falls in love with her. (Part requires a British accent.) \nMR. HENRY WOODHOUSE (M\, 50s – 70s) Emma’s endlessly worried father. He is a homebody to a fault and resists any sort of change. He is a doting father to Emma and is blind to any faults she may have. (Part requires a British accent.) \nMISS HARRIET SMITH (F\, 18 + to play 17) A soft and naïve young woman who adores Emma. She is an orphan living at the local boarding school. She is uncertain in her own mind and seeks approval. (Part requires a British accent.) \nMRS. ANNE WESTON (F\, 30s – 50s) Emma’s former governess and Mr. Weston’s new wife. Her former name was Miss Anne Taylor. She is a close friend of Emma’s. She is a kind woman that essentially raised Emma and was perhaps a bit too indulgent with her. (Part requires a British accent.) \nMR. WESTON (M\, 50s – 60’s) The kind\, cheerful\, optimistic\, and easy-going neighbor of the Woodhouse family. He is the father of Frank Churchill from an earlier marriage wherein his first wife passed away. (Part requires a British accent.) \nMR. PHILIP ELTON (M\, mid 20’s) The ambitious rector of Highbury. He possesses an air of self-importance and is seeking the right marriage to climb the social ladder. (Part requires a British accent.) \nMR. ROBERT MARTIN (M\, mid 20s) A shy\, straightforward young farmer in love with Harriet Smith. He is not the most sophisticated of men\, but very capable. (Part requires a British accent.) \nMISS BATES (F\, 40s-60s) A unmarried woman who others would describe as a spinster. She is not particularly clever and she is overly talkative\, but she’s very warm-hearted. She lives in genteel poverty with her sickly mother. (Part requires a British accent.) \nJANE FAIRFAX (F\, early 20s) The niece of Miss Bates who comes to visit Highbury.  She is an accomplished\, talented\, gracious\, and beautiful young woman. (Part requires a British accent.) \nFRANK CHURCHILL (M\, early 20s) The son of Mr. Weston. He is charming\, well-mannered\, and handsome. He was raised by his aunt and is visiting Highbury for the first time. (Part requires a British accent.) \nMRS. AUGUSTA ELTON (F\, 20s-30s) Her former name was Miss Augusta Hawkins.  A vain\, superficial\, and well-to-do woman who marries Mr. Elton.
