As You Like It

Wed 16 June 2021 - Sat 26 June 2021

Fitzwilliam Museum

Rosalind and her cousin Celia escape from court, after Duke Frederick banishes Duke Senior, Rosalind’s father. The cousins flee into the forest to search for Duke Senior, but instead they find Orlando, Rosalind’s love, who is on the run from his Machiavellian brother. Disguised as a shepherd boy, Ganymede, Rosalind has Orlando woo her under the guise of ‘curing’ him of his love for her.

A tale of escape, love and disguise. Follow Rosalind into the forest as she performs different roles to find love and ensure peace. And find some modern-day respite of your own … in the green world of the Forest of Arden.
