“All the world’s a stage” --- and so is one of Philadelphia’s most beautiful parks this summer, as Shakespeare in Clark Park returns to University City for a third year of free outdoor theatre. The romantic comedy As You Like It will run July 30-August 3 at 7:00 pm, directed by Shakespeare in Clark Park’s co-artistic director, Maria Möller.
As You Like It tells a witty, wise and sometimes wacky tale of love and transformation. Banished from court by her evil uncle, the plucky and courageous Rosalind disguises herself as a boy and escapes from the dangerous confines of “civilized” life to the Forest of Arden. Running the gamut from philosophical discourse to slapstick comedy, As You Like It explores affairs of the heart from all angles.
Location: “The Bowl”, Clark Park, 43rd Street and Chester Avenue
