""All the world's a stage...." Duke Senior and his courtiers have been overthrown by his brother Duke Frederick, and have gone to live in the forest of Arden. Rosalind, the daughter of Duke Senior, is banished too, but the usurper's daughter Celia (Rosalind's cousin) goes with her. The court fool, Touchstone, accompanies the banished daughters to the wild forest. Orlando, the honorable son of one of the courtiers, also heads for the woods after winning a wrestling match and falling in love with Rosalind. There he meets her again, disguised as a man, and all the characters have merry adventures in the wild."
David Loftus, Resident Scholar
