As You Like It in the Arb

Dinner on the grass before the performance of "As You Like It"
by the Shakespeare in the Arb company.
As in former years, we brought a picnic.

Walking through the peonies to get to the first location: the
performance moves among the woods, glens, and fields of
the Arboretum.

Touchstone the Fool, the French maid, Rosalind, and Celia:
all played by fantastic actors.

The wrestling scene

The audience (musicians way in back).

We enjoyed a marvelous performance in what I think is the most perfect Forest of Arden imaginable!
