Events Description
Romance, disguises, wrestling, music, and a lion! – just some of the ingredients that make up the madcap world of Shakespeare’s “As You Like It”. All performed for your delight by members of the County of Carleton Law Association as a fundraiser for GCTC and Cornerstone Housing for Women.
Rosalind and Orlando meet at a wrestling match and are immediately smitten with each other. He is a poor farm boy and she is an exiled princess. Torn apart by the whims of the Evil Duke Frederick they are both banished – unbeknownst to each other – to the forest of Arden. In this idyllic and Golden World they meet again, but Rosalind, to protect her identity, is in disguise as the shepherd boy Ganymede.
When she learns that Orlando is still desperately in love with Rosalind, she hatches a plan to keep his attention and admiration. But O! What tangled webs are weaved when other characters’ romantic entanglements get tangled in her plans! Will she keep the love of Orlando? Will her own lovesickness annoy the heck out of her best friend Celia? Will she be able to run a sheep farm? Will the Shepherdess who fell in love with her disguise derail Rosalind’s plans? Will she be reunited with her father who is also hiding in the forest of Arden? And why is there a lion?
To find out the answers to all these dramatic dilemmas, get your tickets to this year’s GCTC Lawyer Play!
