Le Beau shares some news with Touchstone , Rosalind and Celia
The exposition of how all this is set up, and how everyone winds up hooking up in the peaceful Forest of Arden, is wonderful to experience but tedious to describe. Suffice to say that it involves Shakespeare's usual braiding of multiple storylines, a process that plays out much more clearly on stage than in banal narrative descriptions.
In the central romantic match, Nick Steen is the very image of Orlando, a stud who is brave, chivalrous and just dim enough to make him lovable. And in the linchpin role of Rosalind, Jodi Dominick is perfectly cast as she brings her natural, loose-limbed affect to her cross-gender portrayal of Ganymede. And when she finally blossoms as Rosalind, it feels liberating for all involved.
