The plot of William Shakespeare’s comedy As You Like It is among his best known. Banished from court by her uncle, young Rosalind runs away to a forest, dresses up as a boy named Ganymede, discovers her crush Orlando has also come to the forest, and, as Ganymede, proposes to cure him of his love for Rosalind (!). “It’s about people from the city who go out into the forest,” says playwright Cliff Cardinal, who has reinterpreted the classic by setting it on an American Indian Reservation. “This return to the land leads to an encounter between two worlds that are usually opposed, and this encounter makes renewal possible.” For just two nights, the show is on at NYU’s Skirball. —Jensen Davis
