[Eliza · Rating 2 out of 5]

An adaptation of As You Like It but lowks a far cry from anything Shakespeare would put on stage imo...
that feeling when the Ros and Celia relationship completely evaporates
kinda clawing my eyeballs out trying to write my Shax essay on this but it does have some really interesting nuances even if I didn't enjoy it as much as the og play!

This is actually not by William Shakespeare, it is an 17th C. adaptation by Charles Johnson. While it retains most of the plot and dialogue from the original, Johnson has cut and pasted scenes from at least 4 other Shakespeare plays. It is actually quite funny.
