In Synetic's contemporary adaptation of As You Like It, Rosalind is banished from "the bleak streets of a rusted urban wasteland." Helmed by Paata Tsikurishvili, Synetic’s purely physical interpretation "promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of traditional gender roles, societal class, and love," states a description on the show's website.
