A little glimpse into one of our live performances.

3.2 Jaques and Orlando discuss Rosalind

3.5 Rosalind meets Phebe, who instantly falls in love with the 'pretty youth' Ganymede. Silvius, a young shepherd who is in love with Phebe, agrees to help her write and convey a letter to Ganymede.

4.1 Rosalind has a chat with Jaques about his melancholy.

5.2 Rosalind is caught in her own net, having promised Orlando that he would be married to Rosalind - "If you do love Rosalind, when your brother marries Aliena, shall you marry her”. On the brink of revealing herself, she is interuppted by Phebe, who insists that she be married to Ganymede, and Silvius, who wants to marry Phebe.

5.3 Touchstone, the fool who has accompanied Rosalind and Celia to Arden, has found a goat herder called Audrey, who wishes Touchstone to make an honest woman of her. After much deliberation, and a ceremony by a not-altogether-convincing priest, they wed.

5.4 The Wedding. Rosalind reveals herself as a woman, much to the disappointment of Phebe. Phebe agrees to marry Silvius instead. Oliver, Orlando's brother who has been reconciled to Orlando, meets Aliena, and wants to stay in Arden with her, and Touchstone and Audrey arrive to complete the four couples. The goddess Hymen arrives to bless the ceremony!

Here's eight that must take hands To join in Hymen's bands, If truth holds true contents. You and you no cross shall part: You and you are heart in heart You to his love must accord, Or have a woman to your lord: You and you are sure together, As the winter to foul weather. Whiles a wedlock-hymn we sing, Feed yourselves with questioning; That reason wonder may diminish, How thus we met, and these things finish.

ACT 4 SCENE 1 Orlando goes to meet the youth Ganymede (Rosalind in disguise), to pretend that he is Rosalind. Rosalind teaches Orlando that his Rosalind might not be everything he’s expecting her to be, and that he has to think of her as a person, not a goddess. She asks Celia to lead a ‘wedding ceremony’ so she can teach him what woman are like as wives. It doesn’t go quite as either of them expects.

Did you miss Part 3 on Sunday? 

ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE (ACT 2 SCENE 7) Jaques, a melancholy traveller and philosopher, uses his time in the wood to think. Duke Senior, having accepted Orlando to his camp (whom has just gone to fetch his elderly servant, Adam) tells Jaques that he has no need to be melancholy, and that ‘this wide and universal theatre presents more woeful pageants than the scene wherein we play in.’ Jaques responds with this philosophy as he has ‘neither the scholor’s melancholy, which is emulation, nor the musician’s, which is fantastical, nor the courtier’s, which is proud, nor the soldier’s, which is ambitious, nor the lawyer’s, which is politic, nor the lady’s which is nice, nor the lover’s which is all these, but it is a melancholy of [his] own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects, and indeed the sundry contemplation of [his] travels, in which [his] rumination wraps [him] up in a most humorous sadness.’ ACT 3 SCENE 4 Rosalind is disappointed that Orlando has not kept his promise of visiting her, and is worried that this proves that he is not truly in love with her.

PART 2 

ACT 3 SCENE 2

Orlando has been writing poetry. Bad poetry. He scatters pages and pages of these verses all over the wood ‘all, forsooth, deifying the name of Rosalind.’ He doesn’t know her, but has an idea of her in his head, which is not all together realistic. Rosalind, although excited to find out that Orlando, too, is in the wood, wants to see if his love is deeper than this superficial verse that he has been writing. She, as Ganymede, decides to test him, to see if he actually loves her, or just this deified idea of her.

Part 1! 

Have a wonderful Easter! 

ACT 1 SCENE 3 Rosalind, daughter of the exiled Duke Senior, and her cousin Celia, daughter of the usurper Duke Frederick, have just come from a wrestling match in Duke Frederick’s court. The match was between Charles the Wrestler and Orlando de Boys (youngest son of Sir Rowland de Boys, a lord who was faithful to Rosalind’s father). Orlando, seeking financial freedom from his oldest brother, wins the match and goes to collect his winnings, but Duke Frederick denies him, citing his father’s faithfulness to the banished Duke as reason not to pay him. Rosalind, wanting to reward both the win and his parentage, gives him all that she can, a chain from her neck. Orlando, overcome with gratitude and Rosalind’s beauty, barely manages to speak two words together to her, but immediately falls in love. Rosalind is impressed with the ‘young gallant’ who was steadfast in his pride of his father. Rosalind and Celia talk about Orlando, before they are interrupted by Duke Frederick, who has decided to also banish Rosalind.  UNDER THE GREENWOOD TREE Rosalind and Celia, now disguised as Ganymede and Aliena, run away to the Forest of Arden. Duke Senior lives with ‘many merry men with him, and there they live like the old Robin Hood of England’. His loyal lords, including the musician, Amiens, and the melancholy traveller, Jaques, keep a court with him ‘exempt from public haunt,’ finding ‘tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.’ Orlando too has run away from the court, escaping the wrath of both Frederick and his brother. All have gone to the forest seeking ‘liberty, and not…banishment’. The Players:  Rosalind - Rosie Lewis Celia - Holly Truslove Orlando - Josh Pointing Amiens - Rory Blincow Duke Frederick / Jaques - Nick Edgeworth Other Lords : Kathryn Raw, Kimberley James Under the Greenwood Tree - Music and adapted lyrics by Laura Marling for the RSC, cover arrangement by K. Raw and R. Blincow
