SYNOPSIS
​
To forget her sadness over her banished father Duke Senior, Rosalind shares dreams of courtly love with her cousin Celia before catching the eye of the young wrestler Orlando.
When all three must flee her uncle’s Court to the magical Forest of Arden where her father lives, Rosalind disguises herself as a boy for her own protection. Using her newfound male identity, she challenges Orlando’s passion for Rosalind and finds herself the victim of her own love game.
