Featuring a LIVE FOLK ROCK MUSIC SOUNDTRACK,

“Love is merely a madness; and, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do; and the reason why they are not so punish'd and cured is that the lunacy is so ordinary that the whippers are in love too.”
Follow two of Shakespeare’s most enchanting heroines, Rosalind and Celia, as they escape the austere world of the court in search of freedom in the Forest of Arden. Once there, they are swiftly entangled in a comedy of romance, disguise, and friendship. This beloved play asks us some of life’s greatest questions and is full of live music, laughter, and some of Shakespeare’s most beautiful language. A comedy for all ages — both accessible and relatable — AYLI explores what it means to love, make a fool of yourself, and rebel against ‘The Man’.
