by William Shakespeare

This play, in which the opening scenes at the Usurper's Court are contrasted with the care-free existence of the exiles in the Forest of Arden, is specially suited for out-of-door listeners.
Only one short scene will be omitted.
The incidental songs with Dr. Arne's settings will, of course, be included 'Under the Greenwood Tree,' 'Blow, blow, thou winter wind,' and 'It was a Lover and his Lass.' From far in the woods will come the hunting-song, 'What shall he have'that killed the deer?'
'Proceed, proceed: we will begin these rites. As we do trust they'll end, in true delights.'

Dramatis Personae: [see below]

Scene: First, Oliver's orchard near his house; afterwards, in the Usurper's Court, and in the Forest of Arden
