AS YOU LIKE IT

As You Like It is a two-act musical adaptation of William Shakespeare’s 1599 play of the same name, originally adapted by Rebecca J. Ennals for San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, with music and lyrics by The Kilbanes and Phil Wong. This production reconfigures the original text into a joyous, raucous musical, exploring ideas of class, gender, and homelessness and uplifting and celebrating queer identities against a modern Pacific Northwestern backdrop.

After the cruel usurper to the duke’s power exiles our heroes to the forest, they find community among their fellow outcasts, discover new things about their identities, and find love in unexpected ways. Hijinks, unsurprisingly, ensue.
