'As You Like It' FREE Shakespeare in Park, LA

2024 Festival — Independent Shakespeare Company in Griffith Park, LA (iscla.org)

Edward de Vere is 'Shakespeare'

Shakespeare in the Park is a long tradition in American theatre. Los Angeles, being a cultural hub of the, well, West Coast, has the Independent Shakespeare Company. This summer As You Like It is running most nights, FREE, from July 10 to September 1.

As You Like It is one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays. It offers a powerful choice: natural order as experienced by the banished Duke and his followers in the forest versus a selfish, superficial consumer society represented by the usurping Duke Frederick.

Those who go on this adventure in the Forest of Arden find that with class and gender boundaries shattered, they discover themselves and a tolerance for others.

ISCLA is serving up a heartfelt screwball romantic comedy with songs inspired by Al Bowlly (a crooner popular in 1930’s Britain) to evoke an atmosphere of falling in love.

Performances run from Wednesday to Sunday @ 7:00 pm. The Immersive Prologue begins @ 6:00 pm. 2024 Calendar — Independent Shakespeare Co. (iscla.org)
