Synopsis: Shakespeare's classic comedy of romance and mistaken identity. Frederick has usurped the dukedom from his older brother. Their daughters, Rosalind and Celia, are best friends, and when one is banished from court, they both flee to the Forest of Arden, disguing themselves as country folk. But they're not the only ones fleeing to the forest! Soon this refuge beomes a haven for the lessons of love, complicated by disguise and circumstance--but ending happily despite everything.
