As You Like It Book Club

Step into Shakespeare’s enchanted Forest of Arden—a world where love, laughter, and disguise intertwine. Join us for a five-week book club exploring As You Like It, seen this fall in its new musical adaptation at Writers Theatre.

Together, we’ll uncover the play’s witty banter, poetic language, and timeless themes of identity, friendship, and the freedom found in nature. Whether you’re a Shakespeare enthusiast or reading the play for the first time, you’ll gain fresh insights into one of his most beloved comedies.

Your registration includes a copy of the book from our friends at The Book Stall.
Optional Add-On: Attend the 2pm performance of As You Like It as a group following the final session on November 19. Details about book pickup and ticket purchases will be shared after registration.
