'We that are true lovers run into strange capers'
Duke Frederick has staged a coup and taken over his brother's court, and when he banishes his niece Rosalind, she flees with her cousin Celia into the Forest of Arden. Ungoverned by the court's strict rules, the forest's inhabitants find community in nature, the freedom to explore new identities, forge unexpected friendships and fall in love with strangers.
