One of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies, “As You Like It” follows its heroine, Rosalind, as she flees persecution in her uncle’s court. Accompanied by her cousin Celia and court jester Touchstone, she finds safety and eventually love in the Forest of Arden.

The play features one of Shakespeare’s most famous speeches, “All the world’s a stage,” and is the origin of the phrase “too much of a good thing.”
