Celebrating 90 years of Shakespeare in College, join the Worcester College Buskins for this year’s performance of ‘As You Like It’!

All is not well in the courtly resort of Ferdisand as the kindly Duke Senior has been usurped by his treacherous brother, Duke Frederick, now residing in the beautiful Forest of Arden. Rosalind, his daughter, is kept uneasily at court as a companion to her cousin Celia, Frederick’s daughter. Elsewhere, Orlando de Boys, the youngest son of the late Sir Rowland de Boys, has been kept in poverty by his sister Olivia since their father’s death. Orlando decides to wrestle for his fortune at Frederick’s court.

Immediately after falling madly in love at first sight, both Rosalind and Orlando are forced to leave the resort. Rosalind, exiled by her distrustful uncle, flees disguised with her cousin, while Orlando must escape upon hearing of a plot by his sister to kill him. What will happen when the lovers are reunited it the Forest of Arden, where anything goes?

Worcester College Buskins invites you to join us in the Forest of Arden, where the boundaries of love and identity are free to fall away.
