About the Show

Theater 2020 invites you to experience Shakespeare’s delightful pastoral comedy full of some of his most memorable characters, in this adaptation set in modern times.

Shakespeare tackles gender fluidity with comic gusto. Meet some of the Bard’s most famous characters, including the guitar strumming melancholy Jaques (“All the world’s a stage”), the rapping jester Touchstone (who is joined by the puppet Audrey), and the cross dressing Rosalind. This production includes original music and is perfect for the whole family.
