  • As You Like It - Episode 2 - Spotted Fools

    At dinner after the wrestling match, Celia marvels at how quickly Rosalind has fallen in love. They’re interrupted by the angry Duke Frederick, who threatens his niece Rosalind with death for treason if she doesn’t leave his court immediately. Celia defends Rosalind and vows to stay with her wherever she goes. Together, they plan to leave the city disguised as men. Rosalind will be known as “Johnnyseed" and Celia as “Anne Emma Grant”. They decide to bring the court jester, Touchstone, with them. Meanwhile, Duke Senior holds court in the forest with Woodstock concertgoers, philosophizing on the virtues of living in nature. When she hears that Jacques, another courtier-turned-philosopher, is in the forest mourning the killing of deer, she asks to be taken to him. Back at his Court, Duke Frederick berates his assistants for losing track of Celia and Rosallind and letting them escape. He demands that they bring Oliver and Charles the Wrestler to him. Back at Orlando’s quarters, Adam tells him he must flee or die. He offers him all his savings and urges him to leave immediately. Orlando convinces Adam to accompany him in flight. Elsewhere, Rosalind, Celia and Touchstone trudge through the rain into the forest of Arden. There, they come upon two farmhands, Silvius and Corin, and overhear Silvius asking for advice as he pines away for a young shepherdess named Phebe. Rosalind sympathizes with his plight as she pines for Orlando. Touchstone gets their attention to find out where they might be able to get food and lodging. When Corin tells them he can’t help because his boss is selling his farm, Rosalind offers to buy the farm and all its property in exchange for his services.

  • As You Like It - Episode 1 - Good Wrestling

    Orlando tells his trusted old servant, Adam, how much it grieves him that his brother Oliver keeps him from their father’s inheritance. Oliver enters and provokes Orlando into attacking him, then relents and agrees to give Orlando part of what’s due to him. After Orlando and Adam depart, Oliver meets privately with the champion wrestler, Charles, and encourages him to break his brother’s neck at their upcoming match. On the day of the match, Duke Frederick’s daughter, Celia, arrives at Madison Square Garden with her cousin, the banished Duke Senior’s daughter, Rosalind. They’re joined by Touchstone, the jester. Once inside, the cousins are taken by the sight of Orlando, who they try to dissuade from wrestling with Charles. Orlando persists on his mission and beats all odds by defeating Charles. Duke Frederick is enraged and leaves the arena when he finds out the victor is the son of Sir Roland du Bois. Rosalind approaches Orlando and gives him a necklace. Orlando is smitten but can’t bring himself to speak. When Duke Frederick’s servant, Le Beau, tells him that Rosalind is the daughter of the banished Duke Senior, he vows to find her again.

  • The Taming of the Shrew - Episode 7 - Strength Is In Surrender

    Biondello tells Bianca and Lucentio that he’s arranged for a priest to perform their marriage and sends them on their way as Gremio approaches. Petruchio, Kate and Vincentio arrive at Baptista’s house and are greeted by the Pedant who (much to the real Vincentio’s consternation) claims to be Lucentio’s father. Biondello returns from the hasty marriage to find both the real and fake Vincentio with Baptista and is forced to pretend the Pedant is his master. As Vincentio berates Biondello for pretending not to know him, Tranio returns and tries to continue the ruse, claiming the Pedant is his father. Chaos ensues until Lucentio returns with Bianca. With no way out, Lucentio confesses all to his father. Vincentio, overjoyed to see his son alive, forgives him. Baptista accepts the marriage. Gremio accepts he’s been beaten and joins the group for a free meal at Baptista’s. Kate and Petruchio revel in their newfound love. After dinner, Petruchio challenges all the newly married men to see whose wife respects her husband the most. In the end, it’s Kate who helps her husband win, ending the series with a speech about a woman’s responsibility to her husband.

  • The Taming of the Shrew - Episode 6 - Be It Moon Or Sun Or What You Please

    Grumio taunts Katherine (as instructed by his master) until Petruchio and Hortensio arrive for dinner. Petruchio rushes Kate through her meal before welcoming a tailor and haberdasher who have made exquisite clothing for Katherine. Petruchio rejects all their offerings over Katherine’s objections, but she begins to catch on to his strategy, realizing that she must play along with everything Petruchio does and be “agreeable” in order to get what she wants. Meanwhile, Biondello has primed Baptista for a visit from Tranio (disguised as Lucentio) and the Pedant (disguised as Lucentio’s father, Vincentio). Baptista welcomes them and seals the deal for Lucentio to marry his daughter. On the road back to Baptista’s home, Kate and Petruchio keep up their game of opposites until they are met by an old man who is making his way to Padua. He introduces himself as Lucentio’s father (the real Vincentio). Petruchio embraces him as family, telling him that his son has just married the sister of his wife.

  • The Taming of the Shrew - Episode 5 - He Is More Shrew Than She

    Grumio reaches Petruchio’s house ahead of the newlyweds and prepares the servants for their arrival. But nothing could brace them against Petruchio’s abuse. He rejects the meals they’ve made and treats them so poorly that Kate implores him to be more patient. Petruchio insists they go straight to bed, where he lectures her on the virtues of abstinence. Meanwhile, as Tranio keeps up his Lucentio impersonation, Hortensio drops his “Litio '' persona and laments Bianca’s affection for Cambio (the real Lucentio). Together, they renounce Bianca and Hortensio declares that he’ll seek the affections of a wealthy widow. Free of Hortensio, Tranio celebrates with Bianca and Lucentio until Biondello arrives with the news that he’s found a drunk Pedant who will be the perfect person to impersonate Luentio’s father, Vincenzio. Tranio and Lucentio work up a plan to fool the Pedant into believing he’s in danger in Padua because he’s from Mantua but that he’ll be safe if he pretends to be Lucentio’s father.

  • The Taming of the Shrew - Episode 4 - The Mad-Brain'd Bridegroom

    The guests assemble for the wedding but the groom is nowhere to be found. Katherina frets with her father until Biondello arrives with word that Petruchio is on his way. The groom arrives, disheveled and drunk, on a shabby horse, with his servant by his side. As the wedding finally gets underway, Tranio tells Lucentio they have to find someone to play the part of his father (Vincentio) in order to convince Baptista that Lucentio is as rich as Tranio promised in Episode Three. Gremio emerges from the church and describes Petruchio’s lewd behavior at the altar. Petruchio steps out with his bride and announces that they have to be on their way. Katherina pleads with her husband to stay for the celebration but Petruchio refuses. Incensed, she rails at him, at her father and at all the guests, to no avail. The crowd gets rowdy and clamors for the feast. Petruchio puts Kate on his horse and rides off. Tranio (disguised as Lucentio) steals a moment to woo Bianca and Baptista invites everyone to eat cake.

  • The Taming of the Shrew - Episode 3 - Sweet As Spring-Time Flowers

    Kate and Petruchio meet at last! The fireworks are lit and the couple goes head to head until Baptista arrives to check on their progress. Petruchio announces (over Kate’s objections) that the two have agreed to marry that Sunday. Baptista celebrates the news and turns his attention to the marriage of his second daughter, Bianca. Gremio and Tranio (disguised as Lucentio) compete to prove who has the most to offer in the way of riches. Tranio outbids Gremio and Baptista promises him his youngest daughter provided Tranio can prove his father has the resources he claims. Once alone, Tranio conspires to find someone who can pretend to be Lucentio’s wealthy father. Back in Baptista’s house, the real Lucentio “tutors” Bianca in Latin and secretly reveals his true identity. Bianca is receptive to Lucentio’s overtures but warns she needs to get to know him before she agrees to marry. Hortensio finishes tuning his lute and takes over from Lucentio to teach Bianca how to read music, whereupon he confesses his love to her. She is not nearly as receptive to this fop, who stews in anger and vows to defeat Lucentio.
