Shakespeare meets the spirited heart of revelry, self-discovery, and transformation!

The Boaty Theatre Company’s 90-minute adaptation of “As You Like It” hurls headlong into an electrifying festival of freedom, love, and identity, set against the backdrop of The Forest of Arden University.

The play begins with Duke Frederick’s hostile takeover as Dean, ousting Duke Senior, who responds not with surrender but with creativity, establishing an off-campus festival that serves as a sanctuary for those seeking refuge from the university’s stifling atmosphere.

With its dynamic blend of Shakespearean themes and language and contemporary issues, this unique adaptation of “As You Like It” is a vibrant celebration of resilience, creativity, and the transformative power of community.
