Goodman theatre
As You Like It is a pastoral comedy that follows a group of characters who flee a corrupt court in search of refuge in the idyllic Forest of Arden. Disguised as a boy named Ganymede, Rosalind tests the love of her crush, Orlando, setting in motion a series of misunderstandings, reconciliations, and romantic entanglements.Set within a French, late-Georgian fairy-tale world, the design of As You Like It centers on transformation. Inspired by vintage storybook imagery, the visual language traces the journey from the muted, somber atmosphere of the Court to the warmth and openness of the Forest of Arden. In the forest, color, texture, and light expand, reflecting a space where growth, freedom, and change are possible, and where the characters are able to step fully into their transformations.
