PINKNEY PARK
ROWAYTON, CT
from our
Executive Director
I am delighted to welcome you to the 18th summer of
Shakespeare on the Sound.
Cross-dressing, wrestling, sibling rivalry, song and dance... sounds like a
night watching reality television, but instead it's Shakespeare’s pastoral
comedy, As You Like It! That is the appeal of Shakespeare: the characters and
stories are timeless. Tonight we share this play together as a community of
people, taking away sometimes different but always meaningful thoughts.
We are so thrilled to share this exciting production with you! A
remarkable creative team, cast and apprentice company of visionary artists
have brought magic to Pinkney Park, transporting us to a place to inspire,
engage and ignite our hearts and minds.
Look around you and take this moment to hear the laugher among friends
and see the children playing in such an idyllic setting. What a joy to declare
this as ours! You play the biggest part by contributing to the quality of life in
our region supporting Shakespeare on the Sound. Together we have created
one of the finest Shakespeare company's to be found anywhere.
Thank you to the foundations, corporations and individuals who
contribute and support our programming. Donations and in-kind services are
what maintain this non-profit organization. 100% of all donations go to the
programs of Shakespeare on the Sound.
Claire has chosen to focus on the idea of transformation in this production
of As You Like It and that idea cannot be more relevant for our organization at
this time. This year we were forced to make a change, presenting performances
solely in Rowayton. We struggle to reach our full potential as we evolve in these
challenging times. We are emboldened, however, by the consistent support we
receive from the very people who make this organization important: you. We
need you, we need your sustained involvement, and we need your support to
keep us transforming in the right direction, providing free Shakespeare to our
community for many years to come.
Thank you and enjoy the show!

Synopsis
As You Like It
As You Like It begins in the court of Duke Frederick. The Duke has exiled
his brother, Duke Senior, to the Forest of Arden, but keeps the banished
Duke’s daughter, Rosalind, at court as a companion to Celia, his own
daughter.
cherished. The melancholy Jacques, the wit of Duke Senior’s banished court,
laments the way people and civilization disrupt the peace and beauty of
nature. He is delighted to meet Touchstone, the court fool, who ensconces
himself in the pastoral world by taking up with Audrey, an earthy maid who
tends her goats.
Orlando, the youngest son of Sir Rowland de Boys, complains bitterly
that Oliver, the first-born son, has treated him miserably and tells the servant
Adam that he's going to challenge Charles, the wrestler, at court to gain honor
and get out from under his brother's yoke. When Orlando wins the wrestling
match, Duke Frederick becomes wary of him and Oliver plots to kill his own
brother. Rosalind and Celia, however, are enchanted by Orlando. Rosalind
gives Orlando a chain to wear for his victory and he is smitten with her.
After the wrestling, Duke Frederick turns against Rosalind and banishes
her, saying that she's a traitor like her father. Celia, who adores Rosalind,
can't dissuade him. Celia and Rosalind plan to go to the Forest of Arden to
find Rosalind’s father, the banished Duke. To protect themselves from
thieves, Celia dresses as a commoner, called Aliena. Rosalind dresses like a
boy, called Ganymede. They take Touchstone, the court fool, with them.
Orlando, too, leaves the court for the Forest of Arden to seek the exiled
Duke, and takes his loyal servant, old Adam, with him. The Forest of Arden is
so unlike the court of Duke Frederick. In Arden, the simple, pastoral life is

When Rosalind/Ganymede finds this bad love poetry and realizes it is
meant for her, her heart sings, but she also decides that she must school
Orlando in his wooing. In her boy’s attire, she convinces Orlando to pretend
that she is Rosalind so he can practice. As Ganymede, she also tries to help
the lovesick shepherd Silvius by encouraging the shepherdess Phebe to love
him, but Phebe falls in love with Ganymede instead.
Rosalind despairs that Orlando may just be playing at love when he is
late to meet her, but his brother Oliver reveals that Orlando has been injured
when he fought off a lioness that was about to pounce on Oliver, who was
asleep in the Forest. Orlando’s bravery and selflessness inspire a conversion
in Oliver, who gives all his land to Orlando and vows to live in the forest. Celia
and he fall in love, while Rosalind faints at the sight of Orlando’s blood.
Oliver brings them to Orlando, who says that he cannot stand wooing an
imagined Rosalind any longer.
Rosalind/Ganymede
declares that she will
resolve all these love
quandaries with the help of
some magic and she returns
as Rosalind to marry
Orlando and forces Phoebe
to love Silvius. The play
ends with four marriages
and Rosalind speaks the

notes from
the Director
I have always been drawn to those
Shakespeare plays that effortlessly weave the
darker elements of human existence with the
lighter ones, creating a genuine representation of
the human experience. As You Like It is one of my favorite plays because it
balances dark and light so well. What moves me most about this play is the
authentic way in which Shakespeare explores the complex theme of human
transformation, or, more simply, the journey that takes us from who we are
to who we want to be – the best versions of ourselves. Each of Shakespeare’s
main characters in this play go on such a journey. As You Like It begins in a very dark place and it is not immediately clear
that the play is a comedy. Duke Fredrick’s court is pompous and envious, a
world in which the freedom to choose does not exist. The characters that
inhabit Duke Fredrick’s court are trapped in roles they never wanted to play.
Rosalind, for example, is forced to endure life without her beloved banished
father. Orlando is oppressed by his older brother’s cruelty. RElove
YOUR HOME
Shakespeare gives us a new wonderful world for this journey of
transformation to occur, the Forest of Arden. The Forest of Arden is a magical
place in which the characters are able to shed the bondage of their old
selves. Only in Arden would Rosalind be able to woo and win the heart of the
man she loves dressed as a boy, or Oliver reconcile with a brother whom he
loathes with every fiber of his being. It is important to note, however, that
Arden is not a place devoid of sorrow, melancholy, anger, frustration; those
human emotions are always with us. Rather, it is a place where the freedom
of choice exists. As this is a comedy, Shakespeare fills his play with fun, accessible,
recognizable characters. For example, the pompous Le Beau, the clever
clown Touchstone, the love-sick Silvius, and the melancholy Jaques. And, As
You Like It boasts one of Shakespeare’s greatest female characters, the strong
yet vulnerable Rosalind. It has been such a joy to work on this play, to spend
time with these unforgettable characters brought to life by this enchanting
cast. We all hope you enjoy the play as much as we have delighted in bringing
it to you!

About the Text
“Come, woo me, woo me, for now I am in a holiday humor…”
Rosalind to Orlando – As You Like It
As You Like It, written in 1599, is one of Shakespeare’s most beloved
comedies, gently mulling over weighty issues, such as nature versus nurture,
freedom versus constraint, art versus artifice and country life versus city life.
With a light touch, Shakespeare constructs his play around these debates.
He also creates two excellent clowns, Touchstone and Jaques and writes
perhaps his second most famous speech, after “To Be or Not To Be,” – “All
the World’s a stage and we are merely players in it.” His crowning
achievement in As You Like It is the character of Rosalind. When the play
begins Rosalind is a captive in her uncle’s court, comforted only by her dear
cousin Celia, but when she enters the Forest of Arden, dressed as a boy, she
quite simply transforms into one of Shakespeare’s greatest female
characters, quick-witted, funny, sparkling and brilliant.
At the heart of the play is the wooing of Rosalind and Orlando and she
takes it upon herself to orchestrate their courtship. While other women in
Shakespeare’s canon try to control the way their suitors interact with them,
Rosalind is singular in her ability to manage Orlando. Try as Portia might to
dissuade him, Bassanio still gave away her ring in The Merchant of Venice; Viola
never really dares to manage the love triangle she is in, preferring to let time
untangle the knot she has created in Twelfth Night; Helena tricks Bertram into
bedding her, but her triumph over him feels very hollow – All’s Well that Ends
Well doesn’t end very well.
one question: What do women desire most in the world? She gives him a
year and a day to come up with an answer. The Knight travels across the
globe asking women, and he never gets the same answer twice. Finally, just
as time is running out, he meets an old hag who tells him that she can give
him the answer if he will marry her. Desperate, the Knight agrees and he tells
the court that women desire to have sovereignty over their husbands. The
Queen and her court agree and free the Knight. The hag reminds him of his
promise to her, and when the Knight balks at marrying her, she reveals herself
as an enchantress and says, “I can either be a hag at night and beautiful by
day or beautiful at night or a hag during the day.” One choice would ruin the
Knight’s reputation, but the other would make his private life miserable. The
Knight thinks about it and says, “It should be your choice.” The hag,
delighted with his answer, transforms herself into a beauty both day and
night. The Wife of Bath holds this story up as the true example of what
women want: the freedom to make their own choices. In our production, The Forest of Arden is a place of transformation,
where characters can shake off the restrictions of the court and have the
opportunity to choose their own destinies. Rosalind is the character that
most represents this freedom in the play.
Emily Bryan, Director of Education
For more information on the play, pick up a copy of the
Study Guide at the Education Tent
Shakespeare’s depiction of Rosalind recalls Chaucer’s Wife of Bath’s
tale from The Canterbury Tales. In this story, a Knight is sentenced to death
and begs for a reprieve. The Queen is willing to spare his life if he can answer
28
But Rosalind manages it all perfectly. Dressed as Ganymede, her male
persona, she convinces the love-shaked Orlando to woo her and pretend
that she is his “Rosalind.” She stages their wooing and even their marriage,
so that she gets to have the man she loves woo her and teaches him how to
treat her. Perhaps this play should have really been called “As Women Like It.”
Rosalind speaks more than any other female character in the canon (almost
700 lines) and through her character the play makes a study of women while
gently critiquing their behavior. When Rosalind is dressed as Ganymede, her
female side continually spills over. She is constantly interrupting and
interrogating Celia and when she is chastized, Rosalind retorts: “Do you not
know I am a woman? When I think I must speak.” In this play, women are not
“chaste, silent and obedient,” the typical code of behavior for Renaissance
women. Though it makes funny observations about women, As You Like
It never wants to silence them and never apologizes for them.

Shakespeare ON and As You Like It
at the Libraries
Carver Center
After-School Residencies
Director of Education, Emily Bryan, led discussions in the fall in our
Shakespeare ON series, featuring reflections on nature and love in the canon
at the Darien Library. Yale Professor, Mark Schenker, led lectures on As You Like
It at Rowayton, New Canaan, Darien, and Westport libraries in June. Teaching
Artist Jo Anne Parady led children’s workshops on this year’s play at Pequot,
Rowayton and New Canaan libraries.

For six weeks, teaching artists from
Shakespeare on the Sound taught an
after-school residency with the students
from the Carver Center at Ponus Ridge
Middle School and Norwalk High
School. Looking at conflict and
resolution through four different
Shakespeare plays (Hamlet, Romeo and
Juliet, Merchant of Venice, Julius Ceasar),
students engaged in theatre activities
that highlighted the complexities of the
relationships in the plays and the ways
that each character deals with their
dilemmas.

Speaking Daggers: Shakespeare and the
Fight Against Bullying
In
November
of
2012,
Shakespeare on the Sound was
asked to bring ‘Speaking
Daggers’ into the Hartford
Public School System. We
premiered the program in
Hartford
at
McDonough
Experiential Learning School and
America’s Choice at SAND
school to praise from teachers
Iris McQuillan-Grace and Nicholas Urda in Speaking
and students. Shakespeare on
Daggers in Hartford.
the Sound continues to schedule
this touring workshop in more schools in the 13-14 school year. Speaking
Daggers addresses the national epidemic of bullying through Shakespeare’s
works by looking at the complex power relationships between the characters in
Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Merchant of Venice. The
program allows students to take action in finding alternative solutions to the
conflicts in the play by inviting them onto the stage with the actors. The
program also addresses social exclusion, cyberbullying, and empathy building all
through active dialogue between actor and student.
If you are interested in bringing our experienced and knowledgeable staff
and teaching artists into YOUR classroom, contact our Director of Education, Emily Bryan at
[email protected] !

the works of Shakespeare a vibrant life beyond the summer festival with a
variety of school, library, adult education, and art programs as a means to
reach a diverse cross-section of people of all ages and economic
backgrounds.
Chris Ghaffari (Orlando), Medina Senghore (Celia), and Katie Wieland (Rosalind) re-enact the mock
wedding in rehearsal.
