Vacation
It wasn't the skinned lamb carcasses that greeted me as I walked through the door.

As You Like it The version chosen is the 1936 as You Like it directed by Paul Czinner and starring Laurence Olivier as Orlando and Elisabeth Berner as Rosalind. In Shakespeare's day all the women's parts were played by men which makes the whole women disguised as men thing more believable.

As You Like it One of William Shakespeare's more accessible plays, As You Like It is a delightful romantic comedy that tickles audiences' hearts as much today as it did in Elizabethan England. The play's themes and characters cross conventional boundaries of gender, morality, and class. In fact, central to As You Like It is a celebration of conflict, contrast, and contradiction. The trappings of courtly life are pitted against the
Pastoral/Forest Scenes 'As you like it" is one of the darker comedies of Shakespeare's and is largely based on pastoral tradition that was very popular during Renaissance. This comedy especially draws inspiration from a pastoral novel by Thomas Lodge entitled "Rosalynde." Published in 1590, this romance by Lodge provided all the material that Shakespeare later needed for his own comedy including the exiled ruler, the animosity between two brothers, young
