Casting for the West End Staging of As You Like It Confirmed
In As You Like It, a duke usurps his brother's land and power, banishing him and his attendants into the forest of Arden. The banished duke's daughter, Rosalind McCrory, remains with her cousin Celia Miller. She has fallen in love with Orlando West, but he has his own tyrannical brother to contend with, so he joins those in the forest. Rosalind, now banished, disguises herself as a young man, with Celia as her servant, and follows Orlando into the forest. Can true love find a way, and can brothers be reconciled and harmony restored?
