Theatre review: As You Like It hits the right notes

Shakespeare’s As You Like It proves an ideal choice for Drew Douris-O’Hara’s latest adaptation for Shakespeare by the Sea. In this walk-about staging, audiences wander through Point Pleasant Park as actors bring the story to life — but it’s the music that truly draws you in.

As You Like It: The Walkabout Experience Was Very Much As I Like It

Jade Douris-O’Hara is fierce and persistent as Phebe, the misguided young maiden who runs away from her lover, Silvius, played by the lovesick Patrick Jeffrey. Together these two provide the play with much of its silliness… this production in Point Pleasant Park, with Eliza Rhinelander’s gorgeous score, is one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had seeing Shakespeare in my life.
