| | As You Like It - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | William Shakespeare's As You Like It is a pastoral comedy written in 1599 or early 1600. | | | Shaw liked to think that Shakespeare wrote the play as a mere crowdpleaser, and signalled his own middling opinion of the work by calling it As You Like It — as if the playwright did not agree. | | | Shakespeare drew the story for As You Like It from Thomas Lodge's prose story "Rosalynde" in the collection Euphues' Golden Legacy (1590). |

| | Iintroduction to As You Like It |
| | As You Like It is clearly a pastoral comedy—with a country setting, much talk of love of all sorts, a story which consists, for the most part, of a series of accidental meetings one after the other, and a resolution involving implausible transformations of character and divine intervention. | | | He is a moody cynic, who likes to look at life and draw from it poetical contemplations at the generally unsatisfactory nature of the world. | | | The play is, as I have observed, a pastoral comedy, that is, a comedy which involves a traditional literary style of moving sophisticated urban courtiers out into the countryside, where they have to deal with life in a very different manner from that of the aristocratic court. |

| | SparkNotes: As You Like It: Themes, Motifs & Symbols |
| | As You Like It spoofs many of the conventions of poetry and literature dealing with love, such as the idea that love is a disease that brings suffering and torment to the lover, or the assumption that the male lover is the slave or servant of his mistress. | | | In general, As You Like It breaks with the courtly love tradition by portraying love as a force for happiness and fulfillment and ridicules those who revel in their own suffering. | | | In the Forest of Ardenne, as in pastoral literature, homoerotic relationships are not necessarily antithetical to heterosexual couplings, as modern readers tend to assume. |

| | The acting is solid all around, but this As You Like It is more about telling the story than reveling in the beauty of the verse -- and Schmidt and company are endlessly creative in their storytelling. | | | Any doubts the viewer may have about a mere six people being able to fill all of the roles in Shakespeare's popular comedy appear to be immediately validated when cast member Lorenzo Pisoni begins, alone, to act out an argument between brothers Orlando and Oliver -- except that he pulls it off brilliantly. | | | (foreground) Jennifer Ikeda in As You Like It |

| | William Shakespeare's romantic pastoral comedy "As You Like It" is a warm, generous and life-affirming affair, an artful blend of insight, wit, wisdom song and dance. | | | Bottom line: Although well over three hours long, the Theatre Royal Bath production of Shakespeare's comedy is absolutely splendid theater. | | | "As You Like It" is a play about restoration and regeneration and is an affirmation of society's more cherished values: brotherly love, marital union, tolerance for different viewpoints and an optimism about life at large. |

| | The rest of the time, she presents the story clearly and cleverly, with just a modicum of scenery (including handfuls of leaves), and almost instantaneous scene changes. | | | While there's little in the way of textual innovation or exploration, it's wonderful to see this comedy about identity crises so solidly understand what it is. | | | This makes her As You Like It buoyant and a great deal of fun almost throughout, a fine interpretation of Shakespeare's wacky comedy - albeit one with a message - that seems an excellent way to usher in the warmer weather, and hearts, of the spring and summer ahead. |
