Shakespeare in the Woods filmed As You Like It in and around the Northshire community in Southern Vermont, during the late summer 2021. This adaptation of Shakespeare's beloved comedy, brings self expression, relationship dynamics, and the magic of nature, front and center to deliver a beautiful and touching story full of laughter and fun.

From director, K. Paley(they/theirs):
"As You Like It explores the space between societal constructs and human nature. Where does our understanding of gender, sexuality, and status come from? How do these concepts begin to shift as we move away from society into unknown territory? Humans are influenced by two forces: nature and nurture. What happens when the confines of societal law no longer apply? As You Like It sets sisterhood against ego and individualism. The complexity of masculinity is explored through a feminine gaze; thus, we may examine ways in which everyone, regardless of gender, contributes either to the fortification of gender roles, or to their destruction. What does a world look like that is free of patriarchal limitations? We may never know, but we can certainly imagine.
