text: Shakespeare's hilarious comedy for four couples..
  returns to The Netherlands with this romantic story
  No other touring open-air theatre company has performed so many different Shakespeare titles to so many people, winning so many awards, as Illyria.
  As You Like It is Shakespeare's ultimate romantic comedy. Four people each find their perfect soulmates in the Forest of Arden. One pair leap straight into bed, another are instantly struck by each other's beauty, the third torment each other endlessly - while the fourth enjoy a courtship that is so witty and playful that Love itself is stretched to the limit. But pitted against political intrigue, multiple disguises and overwhelming cynicism, can even Love win through in the end...?
