Shakespeare Comes to DAOR
In August and September 2021, Shakespeare’s take on gender roles
in his master comedy, “As You Like It,”
was explored by DAOR members with
Erin Merritt, founding member of Woman’s Will, an all-female Theater Collective.
Through games, text-work, monologues and scene work,
participants delved into the myriad ways
Shakespeare highlighted and subverted his era’s gender roles,
examining how all-male casts playing gendered characters
affected what he wrote, and how their interpretations
play out in modern performance.
Arranged by Cynthia Wilson. Participants included
Edma Coulson Hall, Ed Kimak, Susan Slizza,
Wendy Markel and Jim Rapp.
