I was at AS YOU LIKE IT last night...

Can I pass on my appreciation of a brilliant production.

I did it for O level, and now I'm 73. I still remember my excellent English master apologising for the play and trying to explain what pastoral convention meant. For my generation, reading Arden as a hippy drug trip makes absolute sense. but the production also caught the sinister political context admirably. Special congrats to Jaques, who made the character utterly credible.
