# As You Like It

By William Shakespeare.

"As You Like It" by William Shakespeare is a pastoral comedy written in 1599. When Rosalind flees her uncle's court seeking safety, she ventures into the Forest of Arden with her cousin Celia. There they discover a world of memorable characters, including the melancholy philosopher Jaques, who delivers the famous speech "All the world's a stage." In this enchanted forest setting, persecution gives way to possibility as Rosalind navigates disguise, love, and the contrast between courtly life and country existence.
