Rosalind, the female lead in As You Like It, is the daughter of Duke Senior. He has been banished by the usurper Duke Frederick and now lives in the Forest of Arden. Yet Rosalind remains at court. Frederick has kept her there because she gets on so well with his daughter Celia, Rosalind's cousin. But as well as being incredibly bright, Rosalind's also a charismatic young lady, and it soon becomes clear to Duke Frederick that his impressionable daughter's falling under Rosalind's spell. So he decides to allow Rosalind to join her father by banishing her to the Forest of Arden. But if he thinks that this will be enough to break up Celia and Rosalind's blossoming friendship, then he's in for a nasty surprise, for Celia defies her controlling father and accompanies Rosalind on her journey to the forest.
