Personally, I think As You Like It is one of Shakespeare’s less inspired comedies, as most of its plot is actually borrowed from Thomas Lodge’s prose romance Rosalynde. However, the strong cast, interactive aspects, and interesting setting breathe new life into what could have otherwise been a very dull play….Infusing Newfoundland participatory culture with Shakespeare is an incredibly imaginative decision, and setting the play in the ’80s adds that extra element of fun with big hair, crazy costumes and all those shoulder pads.
