Lifetime Learning: Shakespeare's 'As You Like It'

  • Snow Library 67 Main Street Orleans, MA United States (map)

Considered one of Shakespeare’s greatest comedies, “As You Like It” explores the limits and varieties of love, clashes among social classes, and thought-provoking gender issues — all in a wildly humorous, yet melancholy, way. In every fashion, the play reveals Shakespeare at the peak of his powers. Kerry Brown (M.A. Middlebury College, Ph.D. University of Delaware) leads this four-part class, using two films to peel back the layers of Shakespeare's comic art.
