Description
Written early in Shakespeare’s career, this madcap romp embodies many themes and motifs the playwright would explore at greater depth in his later works.
The first of his plays in which the heroine dresses as a boy to seek out her beloved, it’s also the first in which the characters retreat to the natural world to brave danger and disorder before achieving harmony, and the first in which passionate youth triumphs over dictatorial elders.
And amid its merriment and jests, the play also raises thought-provoking questions about conflicts between friendship and love and the value of forgiveness.
