Banished from the court by her distrustful uncle, the Duke, Rosalind and her cousin Celia journey to the magical Forest of Arden to escape from their world of oppression. Far from the confines of court life, the duo encounter the dashing Orlando and the follies of young romance ensue. Inspired by the beautiful and storied history of San Diego, Shakespeare’s rollicking romantic comedy comes to life with color and music to weave a charming tale of mistaken identity, self-exploration, and the endearing pursuit of love.
The Old Globe is pleased to announce a fall full of Shakespeare with this year’s annual Globe for All Tour, bringing a production of As You Like It to communities across our region. Directed by Emil Weinstein, this tour will feature a multitalented company of artists that will bring a stirring, free-admission production to various economically, geographically, and culturally diverse communities throughout San Diego County, and even south of the border in Tijuana, Mexico. For the first time in Globe for All history, the free Shakespeare tour has been expanded to four weeks. Performances start on Tuesday, October 29 and run through Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024.
