What the critics are saying about As You Like It...
- "This finely acted production succeeds at creating a pleasantly tipsy experience as it merrily toys with the fluidity of identity."
- "As You Like It isn't an easy comedy to embrace for either the audience or the cast. Aquila's superb production makes the challenge feel worthwhile and exceptionally rewarding."
David Ng, The Los Angeles Times:
- "For this remarkable and rather bare bones As You Like It, The New York University-based [Aquila Theatre] doubles (and triples) roles in ways rarely attempted."
- "One might find more lush or opulent As You Like It’s, but good luck finding a production more transporting."
Evan Henerson, The Los Angeles Examiner:
- "Aquila's version [...] is a revelation in both its modestly and its genuine ability to please."
- "This As You Like It is one of the best outdoor Shakespeare productions LA has seen in a while."
James Taylor, Theatre Talk (KCRW):
