If you haven’t seen “As You Like It”, a modern Shakespeare adaptation presented by Ghost Light Theatricals at Ballard Underground, these are the last few days to go see it. It runs through November 21st and runtime is 120 minutes with a 15 intermission.
From Ghost Light Theatrical:
“Love, sex and philosophy haunt the forest of Arden where best friends Rosalind and Celia have been banished. After Rosalind meets Orlando in the forest, however, she is caught between a feeling of skepticism and crazy stupid love. As You Like It subverts the traditional rules of romance. Gender roles, nature and politics are confused in a play that reflects on how bewildering yet utterly pleasurable life can be. You will see how, as Jaques puts it, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” “
Showtimes are Thursday – Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Thursdays are “pay what you can” at the door.
Tickets are available online or at the door: $15 General, $12 Student/Senior/TPS.
Tickets are also available, subject to availability, 30 minutes prior to each performance at The Ballard Underground, 2220 NW Market St.
“Rosalind is Shakespeare’s most compelling female character. She’s funny, she’s complicated, she’s not quick to jump into a relationship. We also get to see a wonderful female relationship between her and her best friend, Celia. They keep each other grounded, they laugh at each other, they help each other.”
-As You Like It Director, Emily Harvey
