In this group of plays, written during the playwright’s Second Period (1595–1600), the author depicts chiefly the cheerful, energetic side of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eAs You Like It\u003c\/em\u003e, a wicked Duke expels his virtuous brother, the lawful ruler, from his domains. The banished Duke takes refuge with his followers in the Forest of Arden, where they live as free a life as did Robin Hood and his merry men. They are presently sought out by the Duke’s daughter Rosalind and her cousin Celia, who have been banished by the usurper. Also among the banished is Orlando, a virtuous young man, who is being pursued by his wicked brother Oliver, pursuant to the orders of the usurping duke. Orlando and Rosalind immediately fall in love, and she, disguised as a boy under the name of Ganymede, makes sport with him throughout the play. Eventually all ends happily – with conversions, repentance and revelations of love.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing the voices of Linda Barrans, Blaise Doran, Laura Richcreek, Emma Faye, Claudia Anglade, P J Morgan, Gary MacFadden, Denis Daly, Marty Krz, Dara Brown, Trisha Rose, John Burlinson, and Kendra Murray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAudio edited by Denis Daly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTunes for songs provided by Alan Weyman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe text used for this performance was kindly provided by playshakespeare.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction copyright 2024 is held by Voices of Today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Voices of Today Pty LTD","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49350373933360,"sku":"BDiqfy","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49350373998896,"sku":"ZEiqfy","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49350374064432,"sku":"ZMiqfy","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/544347-iqfy-Square.jpg?v=1734283995","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-iqfy","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
