As You Like It

The Globe’s 2026 summer season is pretty heavy on the old crowd pleasers, but we’d put a small amount of money on the likelihood that this production of the beloved As You Like It will be something a little weirder than the usual. Clue one: it’s not on for that long. Clue two: it’s directed by Globe deputy Sean Holmes and playwright Charlie Joseph, who also stars in the role of Orlando. Maybe not screeching avant-garde, but expect and arch and probably somewhat queer version from the long-term collaborators. Lola Shalam will co-star as Rosalind in the production of the forest-set romcom.
