Join Rosalind, Orlando and Celia in the romantic Forest of Arden for this mistaken-identity adventure. One of Shakespeare's most highly-regarded pastoral comedies, displaying the complexities of love with grace and humour. With its exploration of sexual ambivalence, As You Like It speaks directly to the twenty-first century. Juliet Dusinberre demonstrates that Rosalind's authority in the play grows from new ideas about women and reveals that Shakespeare's heroine reinvents herself for every age. But the play is also deeply rooted in Elizabethan culture and through it Shakespeare addresses some of the hotly debated issues of the period.

William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) was an English dramatist, poet, and actor, generally regarded as the greatest playwright of all time.

Juliet Dusinberre is a Life Fellow in the Faculty of English at Girton College, Cambridge, in the United Kingdom.
