"And, in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."--Paul McCartney.

Into the mythical Forest of Arden, in this sunniest and sassiest of Shakespeare's comedies, the persecuted (and enchanting) Rosalind flees, and there, disguised as a young boy, she woos and wins her love-at-first-sight, the noble(and hunky) Orlando.

Shakespeare's forest is a golden world, a paradise of palm trees and possibility, of ferocious lions and of fierce longing, of merry foresters and melancholy fools; a wonderland where all travelers are welcome, all the rules are turned on their heads, and poems are hung on every tree; a destination where lovers find each other, daughters are reunited with fathers, and jesters rule.

There's music and dance and silliness, dazzling talk, heartbreaking beauty, and a dash of wisdom. In Arden, all the world's a stage, and all travelers are welcome!
