AS YOU LIKE IT

BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, ADAPTED BY EVREN ODCIKIN (Marin Shakespeare Company, 2026)

A dazzling, music-filled, fashion-forward romp through the Forest of Arden. Joyous and romantic, this reimagining leans into the comedy’s delicious fluidity of gender and identity. Join the celebration of love, out loud, in all its forms.

“A visually stunning adaptation that celebrates queerness in all of its beautiful (and sometimes messy) reality” —Pacific Sun

"As You Like It may indeed be Shakespeare's queerest play, but it's also one of his most entertaining, and it is beautifully rendered here by a talented cast and creative team. Randy Wong-Westbrooke's delightfully detailed set's reveal elicited gasps from the audience, enraptured as I was by it. As wondrous as the set it, it is merely the backdrop for the many thrilling performances by a highly-skilled cast.” —Talkin' Broadway

"As You Like It? I certainly did! Adapted and directed by Evren Odcikin, this production takes one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies and gives it fresh energy without losing the heart of the original story. What I discovered was a production that uses music, movement, humor and strong performances to make Shakespeare feel surprisingly approachable." —For All Events
