j Pastoral Comedy and Original Context: Dramaturgical Note iby Bianca Gordon
William Shakespeareʼs As You Like It is a brilliant example of a “Pastoral Comedy,” in which characters escape the rigid court life to the green world of Arden. Marjorie Garber, author of Shakespeare After All, observes that pastoral
was powerful as it allowed characters a “way of offering a criticism of contemporary social, political, and religious practices in a ʻsafeʼ context of coded Shakespeare takes this literary tradition and brings it alive on stage.
Scholars conjecture that As You Like It was written in 1598; however, its printed edition is found in the First Folio of 1623, and no quarto edition exists. The title of the play may have come from
Chaucerʼs The Wife of Bathʼs Tale, in the moment when a knight gives his wife the “sovereignty and mastery which women desire” when he says: “for as you liketh, so it me.” The theme of a powerful woman is echoed in Rosalind,
and might have pleased the Queen at the time, Elizabeth I.
The original date that As You Like It was performed is uncertain. Arguments exist that link the performance with Shrove Tuesday, the holiday before Lent celebrated with pancakes and mustard, on 20 February 1599. As You Like It might have
been performed before the theatres closed for Lent on Ash Wednesday.
As for the location of the performance, it is also unknown if As You Like It was performed in court for Elizabeth I, or was possibly enjoyed by the court outdoors at the Great Hall of Richmond Castle. As You Like It might have coincided with the opening of the
new Globe Theatre in the autumn of 1599. The melancholy man of Arden, Jaques, speaks the line “All the worldʼs a stage,” which echoes the motto of the Globe: “All the world plays the player.” Thus, Jaquesʼ sentiment
may have actually served as an advertisement for the new theatre.
It is important to note that in Elizabethan theatre, it was considered immoral for women to be on the stage, and so men performed all the roles in As You Like It. Shakespeare is certainly playful and suggestive with the comical nature of that situation.
This device of layered gender representation is one of the multiple examples of the freedom these characters discover in Arden.
We dedicate this production to Martin Cobin, Professor Emeritus of the Department of
Theatre & Dance. Martin rehearsed with us in the
role of Adam for many weeks before health issues caused him to withdraw. He quipped: “I’m working hard at playing an old man!”
Martin is 92 years young!
