As You Like It
''As You Like It'' is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1599 and first published in the First Folio in 1623. The play's first performance is uncertain, though a performance at Wilton House in 1603 has been suggested as a possibility. ''As You Like It'' follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court, accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden. In the forest, they encounter a variety of memorable characters, notably the melancholy traveller Jaques, who speaks many of Shakespeare's most famous speeches (such as " All the world's a stage", "too much of a good thing" and "A fool! A fool! I met a fool in the forest"). Jaques provides a sharp contrast to the other characters in the play, always observing and disputing the hardships of life in the country. Historically, critical response has varied, with some critics finding the play a work of great merit and so ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
A Mad Couple Well-Match'd
''A Mad Couple Well-Match'd'' is a Caroline era stage play, a comedy written by Richard Brome. It was first published in the 1653 Brome collection ''Five New Plays'', issued by the booksellers Humphrey Moseley, Richard Marriot, and Thomas Dring. Date and performance Hard evidence on the play's date of authorship and first stage production is lacking. The 1639 list of plays belonging to the Beeston's Boys company includes an otherwise-unknown play titled ''A Mad Couple Well Met'', which some scholars have taken as a mistake for Brome's play. (Matthew Steggle observes that "the two phrases are variants of the same proverb.") Brome is known to have written for William Beeston's company at the Cockpit Theatre during the final phase of his career; they staged his last play ''A Jovial Crew'' in 1641. Most critics accept the later 1630s as the likeliest time for the authorship of ''A Mad Couple Well-Match'd''. Genre Like most of Brome's comedies, ''A Mad Couple'' shows strong infl ...
