As You Like It

(re)discover theatre presents AS YOU LIKE IT

(re)discover theatre continues to pick-up steam, kicking off their second season with a bold adaptation of Shakespeare's As You Like It, adapted by Jessica Shoemaker and directed by Matthew Wills. The company is known for tackling devised work and language plays with a focus on text, relationship and discovery. Audiences are engaged in a visceral experience that feels anything but traditional. Says adaptor Shoemaker: "For us, exploring these "classical" works isn't a delicate excavation of an ancient work We believe that classical works have survived so long because they continue to be vibrantly alive. They were meant to back taken outside the box and played with. Hard." (re)discover theatre has been hailed as "shocking, sexy, and haunting" by the Chicago Reader, and "inventive and authentic" by Chicago Theater Beat. You won't want to miss their tragicomic take on Shakespeare's most famous love-comedy with touches of theatrical clowning and live music. Tickets are $15 at the door and $12 in advance. The production opens on Valentine's Day and runs through February 24th, playing at 1244 W. Thorndale Ave., Chicago, IL 60660, Magnolia St. entrance.
