As You Like It (Pocket Classics) Paperback – October 1, 2019

Alex Jack had already shared a lot of revealing evidence in his magnificent book “Hamlet by Shakespeare and Marlowe”. This one is a kind of bible on the authorship problem. Jack’s thorough work on decoding the distinctive double semantics that mark out the whole Shakespeare’s canon leaves no trace of doubt on the name hidden beneath ‘Shakespeare’.Regardless of the anger of those who try impose the orthodoxian truth, what this book reveals is beyond question.It is only a matter of time that the world will know that Christopher Marlowe’s will, after his interpreted death, was to shake a spear against those who decided that an illiterate paesant was going to be granted with the authorship of Marlowe’s legacy.

This is the greatest book someone who is directing As You Like It could read.

One of the better plays for children

This condensed version of "As You Like It" runs 37 minutes. It retains all of the central characters and the text used is in the original language. If you have limited rehearsal and/or performance time available, this version could be helpful. It's also handy for preparing for competitive events where performance pieces have strict time limits.

I can't recommend this edition enough ! You will thoroughly enjoy this great work ! From cover to cover you will be up reading till its finished finally putting it back on the shelf is like leaving an old friend. All of his works have been amazing

I purchased this for a real aloud night but chose to use my Shakespeare compendium instead because it was too small for me.

Lately, I've been watching various televised versions of Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth, and Richard III to avoid yet-another-detective murder mystery. All was well until I recently turned my attention to viewing some of Shakespeare's "comedies," most of which I have seen in the past, minus "As You Like It" which was more pastoral than comedic, and though it had the talent of of a young Helen Mirren, I found the plot was so contrived that the play struck me as stupid. I am not alone, apparently, as I found a review by Peter Beech in The Guardian entitled "Much Ado About Nothing Much" who also thinks less of Shakespeare than we thought we should. He was pioneering, yes indeed, and I am grateful for some truly shimmering lines. Nevertheless, to me, this play is seemingly pointless.
