Directing this show has been an exciting challenge for many reasons, but she couldn’t be more at ease in the King’s College theatre. As a student of the program, Brandi worked on every show, either onstage—memorable experiences were in Arcadia (Hannah), The 39 Steps (Annabella, Margaret, Pamela), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Hippolyta, Titania), and Picasso at the Lapin Agile (The Countess)—with every crew, from construction and painting to costume and graphic design; or as she found her footing as a director assisting Dave Reynolds on Spelling Bee and Richard III. After graduating with a double major in Theatre and Mass Communications, Brandi worked professionally in concert promotion and higher ed advancement but presently works in marketing and communications at a national architecture firm. She serves as president of Gaslight Theatre Company where she has been a board member since 2012 and has directed several plays, including August: Osage County, Taming of the Shrew (co-directed with Dave), Next Fall, and God of Carnage. She also is a part-time faculty member at King’s, teaching Arts Appreciation every few semesters. She gives endless thanks to Dave for this opportunity (and truthfully all previous ones) and for being a devoted and passionate educator, a constant mentor, and close friend. Brandi lives with her husband (also named Dave!) in Kingston.

Leah Peters (Rosalind) is a senior Theatre major from Edwardsville, PA and is very excited and grateful to be playing Rosalind in this production.

She would like to thank her director and fellow cast mates for their amazing hard work and also her family and her boyfriend Mike for their incredible support. Theodora C. Abah (Celia) is a Senior currently pursuing a Master’s in Health- care Administration and is delighted to be in the King’s College production of “As You Like It.” Theodora resides in Lawrenceville, GA with her parents and younger siblings. Some of her recent productions include Much Ado About Nothing, The Drowsy Chaperone, King Lear, and The Year That Wasn’t. Outside of performing, Theodora enjoys spending time with her friends and conducting research with King’s College Faculty. She would like to thank her director, cast, and crew for all their hard work and dedication. She hopes everyone enjoys the show!

Chatas ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe a great deal of thanks to Professor Chris Pye, without whom this thesis likely would not have been possible and unquestionably would not have been as rewarding. I am immensely grateful for his thoughtful feedback, valuable guidance, and unending support, as well as his willingness to both challenge and encourage me at every turn. I would also like to thank my friends for letting me ramble to them about Shakespeare and for always believing in me, even—and especially—when I doubted myself. And finally, to my parents and brother, who inspire me and whose support means more to me than I can express: thank you for everything. S. Chatas INTRODUCTION: THE WORLD ON THE STAGE The Renaissance was a time marked by a fascination with subjectivity and inner life. Public laws and social norms were intimately linked to the personal, interior sphere and conceptions of self. Primogeniture weighed on relationships between brothers and between fathers and sons;1 official and unwritten rules requiring clothing to align with class and gender pervaded individual choices and understandings of gender (and reflected the lack of scientific understanding of sexual difference);2 there were even laws that regulated public lamentation.3 Of course, the exchange between these external social structures and rules and the inner world did not flow in only one direction.

    As You Like It

    A TEACHER’S GUIDE TO THE SIGNET CLASSIC EDITION OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S AS YOU LIKE IT By JEANNE M. McGLINN, Ph.D., AND JAMES E. McGLINN, Ed.D. SERIES EDITORS: W. GEIGER ELLIS, ED.D., UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, EMERITUS and ARTHEA J. S. REED, PH.D., UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, RETIRED A Teacher’s Guide to the Signet Classic Edition of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It 2 INTRODUCTION Shakespeare seems to be everywhere these days. Romeo and Juliet and Midsummer Night's Dream, starring contemporary movie stars, have been box office hits. The film Shakespeare in Love, depicting how the playwright's experiences inspired him to write Romeo and Juliet, won multiple Oscars at the 1999 Academy Awards. These popular films have made the plays more accessible to students by exposing them to Elizabethan language and the action that brings the words to life. So teachers can expect a certain amount of positive interest among students when they begin to read a Shakespearean play. As You Like It, although not well known by students, will certainly delight and build on students' positive expectations. As You Like It, like Twelfth Night and A Midsummer Night's Dream, is one of Shakespeare's "marriage" comedies in which love's complications end in recognition of the true identity of the lovers and celebration in marriage. This is a pattern still followed in today's romantic comedies. This play can lead to discussions of the nature of true love versus romantic love. Other themes, which spin off from the duality between the real and unreal, include appearance versus reality, nature ver- sus fortune, and court life of sophisticated manners contrasted with the natural life.

Knowing the World: Shakespeare on Travel in As You Like It and Othello David Summers, Capital University etting to know the world through personal travel, particularly by means of the “semester abroad,” seems to G me to be one of the least controversial planks in the Humanities professors’ manifesto. However, reading Shakespeare with an eye toward determining his attitude toward travel creates a disjuncture between our conviction that travel generally, and studying abroad in particular, is an enriching experience, and Shakespeare’s tendency to hold the benefits of travel suspect.

    As You Like It

    Proudly Presents As You Like It by William Shakespeare (Rosalind in the Forest, by Sir John Everett Millais) The Life of William Shakespeare William Shakespeare was born in April of 1564. There is no specific date of birth because at that time the only date of importance was the date of baptism, though infants often were baptized when they were three days old. Shakespeare's baptismal date was April 26, 1564. Shakespeare was born in the village of Stratford- upon-Avon in Warwickshire. At the time of his birth, the village had a population of 1500 people, and only 200 houses. Shakespeare's father, John Shakespeare, came from a family of yeomen, and he gained many prestigious positions in the community. Shakespeare's mother, Mary Arden, came from an ancient family of landed gentry. The whole family was Anglican. The family's financial situation was well off. Not much information is known about Shakespeare's youth, although undoubtedly he was educated in the local school, where he studied Latin and Greek, among other subjects, during a school day that often lasted from dawn to dusk. Shakespeare's first exposure to the theater probably occurred when he was young. As a child his father probably took him to see plays when traveling troupes of actors came to town, although that was not often. Shakespeare was married to Anne Hathaway in 1582, when he was 18; she was 26, eight years his senior. The exact wedding date is uncertain, but the marriage certificate was issued on November 27,1582. Anne was the daughter of a respected yeoman farmer.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, PLEASE “One of the most powerful productions of a Miller play I have ever seen. By the end you feel both emotionally drained and unexpectedly elated — the classic hallmark of a great production.” - The Daily Telegraph “To say visionary director Ivo van Hove’s production is the best show in the West End is like saying Stonehenge is the current best rock arrangement in Wiltshire; it almost feels silly to compare this pure, primal, colossal thing with anything else on the West End. A guileless granite pillar of muscle and instinct, Mark Strong’s stupendous Eddie is a force of nature.” - Time Out “Intense and adventurous.

Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine; Oh who is sweet as she is sweet Or leave a kiss within the cup Above all things that mortals prize: And I’ll not ask for wine.

Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of Jove’s nectar sup, Come love be all my joy I would not change for thine.
