As You Like It

by William Shakespeare

at St Mary's Church, Church End, Hendon , London, NW4 4JT

At the court of Duke Frederick, discord and distrust are endemic. When Rosalind is banished, she runs away to the Forest of Arden joined by her cousin Celia. As the court’s strict rules no longer apply, they explore new identities and find that the forest is a place where the possibilities for romance and relationship are endless. In this ancient community of nature, surprising alliances are forged, curious minds meet, enmity is reconciled, and strangers fall in love.

We that are true lovers run into strange capers. – Act II, scene 4
