As You Like It

This far out take on the classic comedy is set in late 1960s San Francisco, where the Forest of Arden is refuge to counter-cultural peace-niks. After Orlando falls in love with Rosalind, her autocratic uncle banishes her to the forest, where she disguises herself as a boy. Orlando, fleeing an attempt on his life by his power-hungry brother, finds her in Arden but is fooled by her disguise. Meanwhile, others in the forest find themselves embroiled in unrequited love—including a love triangle between Rosalind-as-Ganymede, the shepherd Silvius, and Phoebe. Accompanied by a live rock band, the characters move between Shakespeare's heightened language and groovy 60s music as they imagine a less corrupt, less patriarchal, more peaceful world.
