Dawson Schilz English 1-1A Ms. Lehmann 20 March 2019 Response to As You Like It As You Like It,written by William Shakespeare over 500 years ago, was performed bythe professional acting company Shakespearience for our school. Althoughit was first performed in 1603,the play was set in the 1980’s. I thought that there just weren’t enough props in the play. I wish that there was a backdrop and better props. I don’t think that the actors were very creative with the amount of props and set up. I wish that there was a backdrop of the castle and a backdrop of the forest in the play. I thought it was cool that they turned the boxes around to make different scenes. If they had more props in the play, it would have been really good. I really liked the character’s acting. My favorite characters were Orlando, Rosalind, and Touchstone. I liked Touchstone’s sense of humor. He made everyone laugh. I thought it was funny when the bell rang and a couple of the characters, including Orlando, were playing along with the bell since they were in the forest. I really enjoyed the wrestling match with Orlando and the Court Wrestler. I recognized most of the music that they played during the skit. I wish that they would’ve played it for a little longer instead of just two seconds. I wonder why they did that. I liked how during the fighting scenes they played rock music, and during the love scenes they played slow and soft music. Some of the music was pretty funny. I conclude that the play As You Like It was a good play overall. If I hadn’t been told the summary of the play, I would not have gotten what the story was about. I really liked the actors and their humor, I wish that they could come out to Valley High School again.
