Free event - William Shakespeare “As you like it” free on Boston common.

After her father’s kingdom is seized by his power-hungry brother, Rosalind and her cousin Celia flee in disguise, seeking refuge in the Forest of Arden. There, they find new freedom and wisdom about love, family, community, and acceptance. Shakespeare’s lush romantic comedy As You Like It celebrates the joys and follies of human nature and the beauty of creating one’s own sanctuary, even in the face of great tyranny.
Directed by CSC Founding Artistic Director Steven Maler, the production will take place at the Parkman Bandstand on Boston Common, July 23 – August 10, 2025, in partnership with the City of Boston, Mayor Michelle Wu, City of Boston Parks and Recreation, and Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture.
