Shakespeare Today: As You Like it
Author(s): Jenny Oldfield
Jenny Oldfield's 'As You Like It' is a fresh, youthful retelling of Shakespeare's comedy. When half of the royal court end up abandoning their luxury lifestyles for the back-to-basics life of the forest no one really knows who they are anymore - let alone who anyone else is. In the midst of all this, the young people are trying to find love and everyone is looking for an end to the feuding. The Shakespeare Today series captures the magic of Shakespeare's text and sets it in an accessible and contemporary style.
