As You Like It is a pastoral comedy in which Rosalind, banished from court by her usurping uncle, flees to the Forest of Arden disguised as a young man named Ganymede, accompanied by her cousin Celia and the fool Touchstone. There she encounters Orlando, the man she loves, who is also a fugitive and who fills the forest trees with love poems in her name — unaware that the witty “Ganymede” coaching him through his feelings is Rosalind herself.
