Theater: As You Like It
You know the song “That’s the way, uh-huh uh-huh/ I like it, uh-huh uh-huh?” Well, think back a couple of hundred years, and you have Shakespeare’s original mix, “As You Like It.”Directed by Rachel Wilson ’16 and performed by the Princeton Shakespeare Company, the play follows the adventures of Lady Rosalind, who, disguised as a boy, follows her father into exile. Throw in a fool and a handsome gentleman, and you have yourself a romantic comedy that’s sure to be far more entertaining than anything currently playing, seeing as this one has been around for four hundred years. Need a pick-me-up? Or a pickup line from the king of romantic poetry? Then be sure to check out “As You Like It.”
