THE NAME
ROSALIND, the heroine in Shakespeare’s comedy, As You
Like It, is one of the greatest roles ever written
for women. Like all of Shakespeare’s leading ladies,
she is intelligent, witty, resourceful, and brave.
What’s remarkable about Rosalind is that she drives much
of the play’s action, creates other characters’
destinies, and gets what she wants in the end. She even
gives the Epilogue, highly unusual for a female
character. It’s her play, with a happy ending.
In the vibrant Forest of Arden, she is reunited with her
long-lost father, as she marries the love of her life,
always with her closest girlfriend at her side.
In Stages, the play that inspired the inception
of ROSALIND PRODUCTIONS, the lead character is an
actress, currently performing the role of Rosalind in a
production of As You Like It.
Finally, Rosalind combines the name ROSE, Abigail’s
middle name, with LINDA, Abigail’s mother’s name.
