As You Like It is a play about exile, the challenges and rewards of living outside the centers of power and knowledge–and the self-knowledge and healing that emanate from Bohemia, symbolized here by the Forest of Arden in Shakespeare’s home county.

This production will lean into the dangers of exile, including the need to escape and to stay hidden, the tension between the need to trust strangers and not knowing whom to trust. As the broken exiles learn to heal, shepherds and farmers reclaim the dignity of their craft and a tyrant Duke is transformed, emerging like a prayer for the wisdom the people deserve in a ruler.

In design, staging and music, we will pay homage to the Bohemian ideals that Northern California—and particularly, Mill Valley—have represented for 125 years.
