"As You Like It Shortened" is an abridged version of Shakespeare's comedy "As You Like It." It contains the Bard's original language. This play serves as a source for amateur and professional acting troupes looking for a performance time under an hour. It is also a resource for English teachers who wish to use this play, along with the others like it, to gain a broader knowledge of the lesser known plays in a shorter time. David R.
