The National Shakespeare Company will perform Shakespeare's comedy "As You Like It, at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 7, in Harbach Theatre, Ford Center for the Fine Arts, Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois. The performance is free.
"As You Like It" is a complex romantic comedy that features disguises and changes in identity, and a vivid contrast between a status-conscious urban society and a forest in which a person's true character is revealed.
