Tennessee Stage Company & Ijams Nature Center: As You Like It
Jul 21 – Aug 7, Thu-Sun at 7:30 PM
(Sun Jul 31, 2 PM indoor matinee)
At Ijams Nature Center, 915 Island Home Ave, Knoxville, TN 37920
Join us for Knoxville Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” by William Shakespeare, directed by Allison Crye. In addition to being one of Shakespeare’s funniest and most beloved comedies, As You Like It is his nod to the Robin Hood legends. An outlawed Duke lives with his fellows in the Forest of Arden; a banished younger son (Orlando) joins him – fleeing his murderous older brother. Soon Rosalind – already deeply in love with Orlando – disguises herself as a man and flees to the forest as well to seek her true love. Set in an enchanting forest, with some of Shakespeare’s funniest clowns, sweetest songs and an Elizabethan version of the World Wrestling Federation, As You Like It is a marvelous entertainment for the entire family.
