As You Like It - BBC Shakespeare Collection

In 1978, the BBC set itself the task of filming all of William Shakespeare's plays for television. The resulting productions, renowned for their loyalty to the text, utilised the best theatrical and television directors and brought highly praised performances from leading contemporary actors - AS YOU LIKE IT [1978] Banished young lovers Orlando and Rosalind escape to the forest of Arden with their friends and servants. In this idyllic setting they find the simple life confused by entangled love affairs, cross-dressing, love poems and even a lion. Helen Mirren and Brian Stirner star as Rosalind and Orlando in one of Shakespeare' most popular comedies. Considering the delights of love, the nature of human experience and the contrast between life in the court and the country, Shakespeare fills the romatic plot with both humoous and clever wordplay.
