Directing the (SOL As You Like It (~85 Min.)
Casting
As usual it is best to leave the pairings of Rosalind/Orlando, Celia/Oliver, Touchstone/Audrey and Phebe/Silvius alone. William and Charles should remain male but Corin could be an old shepherdess, as Adam might also be an old female servant. Jaques, Le Beau, Hymen and Amiens could also be played as females. The Dukes need to remain male.
