Gurnet Theatre Project is excited to present our third summer of free outdoor theatre, Shakespeare’s AS YOU LIKE IT. In this beloved comedy a perfect pair of lovers, both banished, seek refuge where they meet in the Forest of Arden.
Only one complication prevents their love from flourishing, the lovesick Rosalind is disguised as a man. As she teaches Orlando how to woe a women her frustration yields to high comedy in this tale of cross-dressing, mistaken identity, and love, filled with poetry, song, slapstick humor, and shrewd observations about human nature.
Gurnet Theatre Project’s AS YOU LIKE IT - - directed by GTP Founding Member Kristen Schnibbe (who helmed last summer’s joyous production of Much Ado About Nothing) is set in the bohemian French countryside, with original music in the blue grass/washboard style. Widely considered Shakespeare’s most perfectly constructed comedy, AS YOU LIKE IT is a delightful entertainment for a summer evening.
