AS YOU LOVE IT is a comedy set in an alternate version of early 20th century New York, about a young woman who forges an undiscovered Shakespeare play to impress her antiquarian father and the actress with whom she’s falling in love. The young woman’s play – a sequel to As You Like It – takes on a life of its own, attracting the interest of newspapers, Shakespeare scholars, a Broadway producer as well as the people she loves the most.

As You Love It was designated a Finalist by the American Shakespeare Center for its biennial competition for plays “in conversation with Shakespeare.”

This show is part of The Z's Curtain Up! Play Series: The curtain is rising on new theater works featuring local talent and professional performers alike. Take a front row seat and play an important role in bringing shows to life, from dramas to comedies and theatrical art that makes you think. Theater starts here at The Z!
