Aquila Theatre Company - "As You Like It"

Set in a period of revolution in France, As You Like It tells the story of power hungry men exiling their brothers, girls portraying guys and love found in unexpected places. Shakespeare’s comic brilliance is wrapped in gender-confused, unrequited love, and Aquila infuses the play with their unique blend of fun and entertaining theatricality. This production is completely faithful to Shakespeare, and yet perfectly accessible to modern audiences. The New York Times described one of Aquila’s previous Shakespearean comedies as “Gleefully engaging ... almost unbearable fun.”
