AS YOU
LIKE IT

EXTENDED THRU JAN 14
Harman Hall

by William Shakespeare 
Adapted & Directed by Daryl Cloran 
Conceived by Daryl Cloran & Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival  

It’s the 1960s and flower power, peace, and love are in the air. The free-spirited Rosalind is exiled from court and escapes to an alternative community, where everything is possible. Mistaken identities and mixed signals come together, melding the Bard’s verse with the beloved music of The Beatles in what Vancouver Presents calls “one of the clearest renderings of As You Like It that you will ever see.” This tuneful take on Shakespeare’s romantic classic will be “a total blast” (Chicago Tribune) for the holiday season, reminding us that in times of trouble, all you need is love. 

Runtime: Two hours and 40 minutes with one 15 minute intermission. As You Like It includes a pre-show experience which begins 20 minutes before the show.

Printed ASIDES are back, but we still have a digital option available for those who prefer it. Check out the online version of ASIDES here.
