  • "Declarations of love and confessions of assumed identity in the Forest of Arden."@en
  • "As you like It is quintessential Shakespearean comedy, complete with a loquacious clown, lovers, disguises, rifts and reconciliation's, and all within the atmospheric confines of the enchanted forest of Arden. As the title suggests, as you like It is a play in which everyone gets their way, where sinners are redeemed and where love holds sway over all. And because it is Shakespeare, even so light a comedy contains a wealth of keen observations about humanity in general, and in particular about the age-old tension between so-called civilized society and the state of nature from which it evolved. No less poetically-accomplished than Shakespeare's more serious works, as you like it is a stimulating literary pleasure from start to finish."@en
  • ""Trees and shrubs resonate with declarations of love and confessions of assumed identity in this exciting new production, where the intimacy of radio brilliantly recreates the closed-off, magical world of the Forest of Arden.""@en

  • "A Duke's banished daughter poses as a man in this Shakespearian comedy."@en
  • "A Shakespearean pastoral comedy set in the Forest of Arden in medieval France about a girl who disquises herself as a boy unbeknown to the man she loves."@en
  • "Shakespearean comedy. Eight passionate young people are gathered together, all breaking one another's hearts. Some have been exiled from the court of ill-tempered Duke Frederick; the others are shepherds and shepherdesses."@en

  • "Helena Bonham Carter stars as Rosalind with David Morrissey as Orlando and Natasha Little as Celia in Shakespeare's comedy about the enchanted world of the Forest of Arden. BBC radio has a unique heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923, when the newly formed company broadcast its first full-length play, generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard. In the acclaimed BBC Radio Shakespeare series, each play is introduced by Richard Eyre, former Director of the Royal National Theatre. Revitalised, original and comprehensive, this is Shakespeare for the new millennium."@en
