About the Show

In this all-female production, Folding Chair present a stripped-down version of the play, evoking an entire world with just seven actresses.

'As You Like It' is about what happens when everything you know changes, and you find yourself in the middle of the woods. It's part fairy tale, part romantic comedy, part philosophical discourse, and part farce. In this production, seven women play all the characters with a focus on Shakespeare's words, evoking an entire world in an empty space.
