Last night, my school performed Shakespeare's "As You Like It." First off, shout out to everyone who was in the play. Everyone did an excellent job portraying the humor of Shakespeare's play. Two of my teachers were included in the cast, which I thought was absolutely hilarious. The play followed several different love stories, four of which end in marriages all on the same day. Wrestling, interactions with crowd, papers flying through the air, and a visit from a pagan goddess all take place during "As You Like It."
Because the hero is in fact a heroine, the play has anti-men undertones...but also anti-women undertones. It points out the faults of both genders and pokes fun at them both. This humor, although in Shakespearean language, is relatable for anyone who's been in a relationship or witnessed a relationship. Although perhaps a little suggestive here and there, overall, all of us in the audience could not help laughing. It didn't hurt that some of our very humorous friends were the cast members making the jokes. If there's not a performance near you, you ought to at least read Shakespeare's written play "As You Like It."
Sorry for the short and sparse posts. Five papers next week and finals after that are enough to keep me occupied in other forms of writing (so many essays!) Have a wonderful weekend!
