As She Likes It is an anthology of plays that features women from Shakespeare's canon. The characters step outside of the male-dominated context of their original works, sometimes into another time and place. These familiar women from classic stories may have had muted voices in Shakespeare's plays, but here they take center stage to discuss the choices they have made and navigate the power structures that have controlled their lives. These plays offer great roles for women, opportunities for thoughtful scene study, educational exploration, and a larger conversation about how these women's stories resonate in our current era. 

The plays featured are as follows:

The Shrew Must Go On by Lori M. Myers - based on The Taming of the Shrew

A Woman's Battle by Sean Adams - based on Troilus and Cressida

Another Conversation by Marjorie Bicknell - based on Hamlet

The Lear Sisters by Sue Lange - based on King Lear 

Haircuts by Barbara Trainin Blank - based on Henry VIII

and
The Nurse's Rebellion by Sandra Fenichel Asher - based on Romeo and Juliet
