> DESCRIPTION

What happens when you’re banished from your kingdom, you’re in love with a wrestler, and you have to dress as a boy just to get by? It’s a classic case of mistaken identity and forbidden love in Shakespeare’s pastoral comedy, centering on the relationships between young refugees finding shelter and discovering romantic possibilities in the countryside. The beautiful, banished Rosalind disguises herself as a boy to survive in the forest and to win the hand of Orlando, challenging social boundaries in the process. In the end, however, exile and readjustment result in unexpected pairings and a reinvented expatriate community in the Bard’s classic gender-bending romp.
