As You Like It

As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare. The play follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court, accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden. In the forest, they encounter a variety of memorable characters, notably the melancholy traveller Jaques who speaks many of Shakespeare's most famous speeches such as: "All the world's a stage", "too much of a good thing" and "A fool! A fool! I met a fool in the forest". Jaques provides a sharp contrast to the other characters in the play, always observing and disputing the hardships of life in the country. Historically, critical response has varied, with some critics finding the play a work of great merit and some finding it to be of lesser quality than other Shakespearean works. The play remains a favorite among audiences and has been adapted for radio, film, and musical theatre.
