The play that I went to see (with the classes) was As You Like It. This play is about a girl named Rosland. Rosland father was banished form the land by his evil brother Duke Fedrerick. Duke Fedreick was an evil man or cared about being king. Later in the play, Rosland falls in love with a man named Oliver. (Oliver won a wrestling match, and Rosland witnessed his strengh and devotion to win). Rosland gave Oliver her necklace, to show her appreciation, of courage.
Then Rosland is banished from the land (just like her dad), by Duke Fedrerick, who daughter Celia, beggs to keep Rosland with her, and claims that they are im-seperable. But, Duke Fedrerick doesn't change his mind, and tells Rosland that if she does not leave the next day, she will be killed. Soon, Rosland and Celia make a plan to leave, into the woods as different people, in new identities (Rosland turn into Gurtimude ???, and Celia turned into Aileen). They set off their journey into the woods where sparks are flying everywhere. A sheperdist named Audrey falls in love with Touchstone. Aileen (Celia) falls in love with Oliver's brother. And a man is in love with Fibi who is in love with Gurtimude (Rosland), who is in love with Oliver, who is in love with Rosland.
In the woods, Oliver posts love notes all over the trunks of tree's for Rosland, hoping that he will soon find her. Rosland soon finds one of these letters and swears that her heart is swooning with love for Oliver. Soon Oliver meets Gurtimude (Rosland), and tells him (her) about his love and devotion for Rosaland. Gurtimude tells him that he should not worry, Rosland will be ready tommorrow to get married with Oliver, and along will be Fibi and (????forgot the name), Audrey and Touchstone, and Aileen and Oliver's brother.
At the wedding, Fibi waits to be married with Gurtimude (Rosland) who soon shows up with a surprise for everyone. He is a WOMAN!!! This woman turned out to be Rosland, Oliver's one true love. After Rosland is unmasked, everyone gets married, and Federick, ( Duke Fedrerick's borther) iz given back his crown. (Happily Ever After). The End.
When i went to go see this play (with the classes) i was kind of shocked with the actor's becausde they took things very literally. They acted as if they were these people in real life, and did things that disgusted me, and are shocking to do to another person (spit in another person's face.......). But i liked it because it showed (almost) like the actors had true emotion. Each of the actor's showed that they were enjoying what they did too.
I also liked this play because it shows the story of love in a different way (besides the Hapilly Ever After part). It shows that for love, you would do things that you would have never thought of doing before, and never regret a thing.
