Shaina Taub and Laurie Woolery’s 2017 musical adaptation of As You Like It features folk-pop music, reimagined romantic pairings, and added contemporary language. It is new but is it modern? Join Professor Gary Cestaro of DePaul University for this lecture looking at the long history of queer themes in drama and literature that inspired Shakespeare and continue to shape his plays in the present day.
