About this listen

This pastoral comedy is one of Shakespeare's best loved, owing to its delightful heroine - the wise, witty, and virtuous Rosalind.

Rosalind, daughter of the deposed Duke Senior, is exiled from the court by her wicked uncle. Disguising herself as a young man and accompanied by her cousin Celia, she takes refuge in the Forest of Arden. In the forest Rosalind meets Orlando with whom she is in love, but her male disguise complicates matters, especially when Rosalind finds she has unwittingly attracted the shepherdess Phebe. But out of the confusion comes reconciliation and forgiveness, and all ends happily.

Rosalind is played by Niamh Cusack, Orlando by Stephen Mangan. Victoria Hamilton is Celia, and Gerard Murphy is Jaques.

A magical performance

It is a brilliant production of one Shakespeare’s most charming and witty plays. The central character of Rosalind is played beautifully. The songs are wonderfully performed,

Great Story

I thought the performance's overall were a bit flat. I kind of like the word to be lifted off the page so I get more out of it than if I read it (I'm not a good reader) and I didn't get it with this version. Average but fantastic play.
