Natalia Valdez English 1-1A March 20, 2019 Directed As You Like It
The play As You Like It, by William Shakespeare, is based on Rosalind and her cousin escaping into the forest to find Orlando, Rosalind's love. Disguised as a boy shepherd, Rosalind has Orlando woo her under the guise of "curing" him of his love for Rosalind. Rosalind reveals she is a girl and marries Orlando during a group wedding at the end of the play. If I would have direct As You Like It, I would start off by picking the setting and props. Since the play is based in the 80’s, I would decide to have an old fashion city with buildings with a hint of an 80’s print.There would also be a nice vibe, which would have to be directed by the lights. When the play took place in the forest, I would have grass with a background of trees and bushes. After setting the props and setting, I would look to my actors. To have a good play, you need to have good actors. I would need actors that are unique and willing to go into the 80’s. I would like the actors to have a passion for the play. To start tying the ties for a great play I would go to the costumes. The costumes would be colorful as well as have an 80’s look. To give a nice spice to the costumes, they would have Shoulder pads, power suits, and more. The last thing I would add would be music and sound effects. Adding sound effects will give the audience a piece of the scene when characters are feeling blissful or gloomy. The point of good music is to affect your soul, so there would be different types of 80’s,music from blues to joyful music. In conclusion, I think adding all these things to As You Like It would create a really good play. You have to catch the audiences by adding passion to the play. To make a great play, I believe it has to be unique but similar to the play you are trying to perform.
