Long before Seinfeld and other modern-day TV shows about nothing, Shakespeare gave us this unique play that manages to be engaging and vital, but also unashamedly light and frivolous. In As You Like It we meet one of Shakespeare's most charming and intelligent heroines, Rosalind, who leads us through the alternately rugged and pastoral forest of Arden. Although we have been told that much danger and uncertainty lie here, we know (as did Shakespeare) that this menace is only an environmental canvas on which he paints some of his most endearing comic characters. Shakespeare tells us by the title, that the play is a comic crowd-pleaser. He jibes good-naturedly at his audience by taking bunches of stage cliches and serving them all up in one giant spoof of pastoral comedy. HSF set its production in the minds of three sisters who meet to sort through a trunk of old family memorabilia. The girls actually invent this ridiculously playful tale as they try to imagine the stories behind the people and places in old photographs. One girl takes the part of Rosalind as the other two become the various incidental characters who pop up through this romp. |
