Juliet Stevenson on Rosalind

Available for over a year

Juliet Stevenson chooses Rosalind from As You Like It. Banished by the Duke, Rosalind escapes to the Forest of Arden and pretends to live as a boy, but falls in love with Orlando. As You Like it is full of entangled love affairs, cross-dressing and clever wordplay. The extract is from the BBC's 1978 As You Like It, starring Helen Mirren as Rosalind and Brian Stirner as Orlando, available on DVD.
