Let the Love Match Begin

Rosalind falls in love with the younger Orlando at a wrestling  match, as you do. Banished from the city by her usurping uncle, she disguises herself as a man, as you would. With her best friend Celia at her side, she seeks refuge in the magical Forest of Arden where she meets Orlando again and teaches him the art of love, just as she likes it. Shakespeare’s most joyous comedy is a feast of wit and wisdom,
love and lust, cross-dressing and cross-purposes. This is a life-affirming, wonderfully optimistic trip into the forest of love performed by a crack cast for your special beguilement.
