By Michael G. French

William Shakespeare鈥檚 comedy 鈥As You Like It鈥 gets a contemporary gender-fluid update by the 澳门六合彩开奖结果走势图 Department of Theatre and Dance. Directed by alumna Josy Miller (Ph.D., performance studies, 鈥15), the classic opens the department鈥檚 2023-2024 season on Nov. 16 in the Main Theatre, Wright Hall. 

In the play, ambitious Duke Frederick deposed and banished his brother, the rightful Duke Senior. At an online gaming contest, Rosalind, daughter of the Duke Senior, becomes enamored of the gamer Orlando. But before they can pursue their mutual attraction, Rosalind finds herself banished by her vengeful uncle. Disguising herself as a young man, Rosalind flees to the Forest of Arden for refuge along with her cousin Celia and the court鈥檚 fool Touchstone. Once there, the trio find themselves entangled in a series of rustic romances and misadventures.

鈥淎t core, 鈥楢s You Like It鈥 is about joy as a radical act of resilience and resistance in the midst of an unjust world,鈥 said Miller. 鈥淎 story that bravely explores the intersections of love, desire, gender, sexuality and identity, every character experiences a transformation in relationship to these intersections.
