Synopsis
As She Likes It
Published by Dramatic Publishing
Large Mixed Cast
As She Likes It is an anthology of 8 short plays featuring famous and familiar women from Shakespeare's canon
Women who have had muted voices in the Bard's plays
But in As She Likes It they take center stage
Here, the female characters boldly step outside of the male-dominated context of their original works, sometimes into another time and place, where they discuss the choices they made and how they navigated the power structures that controlled their lives
The result is a unique full-length theatrical experience offering great roles for women
And also opportunities for thoughtful scene study, opening a larger conversation about how these women's stories still resonate in our lives
