‘If I were a woman…’
Tony Award-winning Jonathan Groff makes his RSC debut in Shakespeare’s most sweet-natured comedy, where love is love – no matter where it falls.
Rosalind is banished from the court of Duke Frederick – but not before she and young Orlando fall for each other. Seeking out her exiled father in the Forest of Arden with her devoted cousin, Celia, Rosalind disguises herself as a young man, Ganymede.
In fear of his own life, Orlando also escapes to the forest and soon runs into Ganymede, who pledges to cure his lovesickness. But in order to do so, Orlando has to woo her… or rather, he has to woo ‘him'. Then the games commence.
Daniel Evans directs an all-male cast, with Fisayo Akinade as Celia, in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
