As You Like It, envisioned by Artistic Director Karen Ann Daniels—in her Folger Theatre directorial debut, is one of the most beloved Shakespearean comedies. The “love-shaked” Rosalind and her cousin Celia are forced to leave the court where they find respite and adventure in nature, inevitably succumbing to the madness of love and delightfully unpredictable circumstances. This production offers a love note to DC, imbuing the forest of Arden with the familiar vibes, culture, and characters that mark the District as a singular, resilient, and redemptive place of belonging.
