AS YOU LOVE IT at Zeiders Theater
Zeiders’ Curtain Up New Play Series is presenting As You Love It, with performances May 9 through May 24.
“As You Love It (and you will) brings funny fake Shakespeare to The Z. …there’s… something for everyone. …[It’s] funny and, like its progenitor play, sometimes profound.”
– Virginian-Pilot
“As the show nears its conclusion and you start to see the similarities between the literary hoax and the show playing out in front of you, you’ll look for that nice button to tie everything up – and you won’t be disappointed. It’s in the getting to that point that the fun happens – and you’ll learn, as Lydia says, that you’ve got to “live life… as you love it”.”

In an alternate version of early 20th century New York, a young woman forges an undiscovered Shakespeare play to impress her antiquarian father and the actress with whom she’s falling in love. The young woman’s play – a sequel to As You Like It – takes on a life of its own, attracting the interest of newspapers, Shakespeare scholars, a Broadway producer as well her father and the woman she’s dreamed of.
