All the world's a stage... - JaquesThe complete play in five acts. A Shakespeare Recording Society Production. 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.

First Dell printing 1959. LB130. Paperback. The Laurel Shakespeare. I suppose every English-speaking actress has longed to play Rosalind, many without realizing until too late that she talks too much!...Only an actress of infinite resource, variety and wit can do justice to the part. Her scenes with Orlando are not just a battle of words. Besides her wit and gaiety there are her moments of fear and bewilderment at her banishment, of tenderness in love, of anger...and of real apprehension....She is a very rainbow of a woman, glittering and sparkling through the summer showers.
