New Haven: Yale School of Drama presents Shakespeare's 'As You Like It' a thrilling adaptation of Shakespeare's play - an immersive re-imagining of the Forest of Arden as a queer utopia. There will be a live band, queer art installations, drag, and dancing. Tuesday Oct 23-Saturday Oct 27, 8 PM.
Adapted by EMMA WEINSTEIN and MICHAEL BRESLIN October 23-27, 8pm Yale Drama School, Iseman Theater, 1156 Chapel Street
In tyrannical Duke Fredrick’s court, you’re either ally or enemy, courtier or peasant, man or woman. These categories make common ground impossible to find. But once exiled to the Forest of Arden, the cross-dressing Rosalind leads city and country folk alike in rejecting the shallow binaries of the past. With music, drag, and dance, this new immersive adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s best loved comedies imagines a world where we can live and love as each of us likes it.
shakespeare’s as u like it is an immersive theatrical experience that invites the audience to move and interact with the actors and scenery. The entire performance is fully accessible to all patrons. Audience members are encouraged not to bring large bags and to wear comfortable shoes.
