Comedy · c. 1599

As You Like It

by William Shakespeare

Banished from her uncle's court, Rosalind flees to the Forest of Arden disguised as the youth Ganymede, with her cousin Celia and the clown Touchstone, and meets the lovesick Orlando, whom she teaches to woo her in mock courtship. Among exiled lords, shepherds and rustic couples, mistaken loves are sorted out, the usurping duke is turned from his purpose, and the play ends in four weddings and Rosalind's epilogue.
