Play | Shakespeare's As You Like It: Classic Comedy Reimagined in the Nightclub Scene


A bold adaptation of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, set in a utopia inspired not by the pastoral woods, but by the transformative power of nightclubs. This Arden is recast as a fictional projection of clubs across cities like San Francisco, Miami, and New York—spaces where generations have sought connection, release, and redemption. Sometimes family is your greatest enemy and sometimes family makes home wherever they go. In this vibrant new imagining of Shakespeare’s comedy, Arden becomes both a dance floor and a dreamscape: a place where you might escape villains, but never the voice rising from within. Exiled nobles, lovesick shepherds, and sharp-tongued fools collide in a world where identity shifts, desire runs free, and every heart is tested. Here, love may be foolish, messy, and exhilarating—but it always finds the spotlight. Exploring class, gender, sexuality, romance, and identity across time and place, this As You Like It becomes a bold meditation on how communities imagine, build, and find utopias in their own time. Written by William Shakespeare. Directed by Glynis Rigsby.
