Hamlet Isn't Dead's As You Like It at El Barrio's Artspace

Hamlet Isn’t Dead continues their tradition of providing excellent opportunities for all actors and audiences with their second all-female production, As You LIke It. Following last year’s inspiring Henry V, this year’s summer show is an alluring, acoustic adventure about equality, joy, and the freedom to pursue true love in all its forms. Rosalind and Orlando, some of Shakespeare’s most beloved characters, come of age in this quirky comedy set to some new original music, as well as all-female covers of some fan favorites. Escape the shackles of society this summer as these lovers convene with nature, Fate, and the merry musicians and brigands who will show them that, truly, “all the world’s a stage”.
