As You Like It Character Breakdown:

Rosalind – female presenting, 16 – 30 ish, Duke Senior’s daughter. Her uncle banishes her and she runs away with her cousin Celia, disguised as a boy called ‘Ganymede’. She is seeking her father, peace, love, and weird boys who write poetry.

Celia – female presenting, 16 – 30 ish, daughter of Duke Frederick the Usurper. She is really close with her cousin Rosalind and supports her when she is banished. She quickly figures out all this peace and love and frolicking in the forest is pretty cool.

Orlando – male presenting, 16 – 30is, youngest son of Sir Rowland de Bois. He falls in love with Rosalind as soon as he sees her but is forced to run away to escape his brother. Let’s just say he’s better at wrestling that writing poetry.

Oliver – male presenting, 20 – 45ish, he is over this mentoring little brother stuff, I mean WAY over it. He treats Orlando badly, and tries to have him exiled. Never fear, there’s a good heart there somewhere.

Jaques – male presenting probably, any age, a lord who lives with Duke Senior while he is exile and camps with him in the Forest of Arden. He is known to be melancholy and dramatic, in other words probably fronts a band somewhere. He gets a famous famous monologue that high school English teachers will flog to death forever.

Phoebe- female presenting, 18 – whatever, a shepherdess. She rejects Silvius, who is madly in love with her, and claims to love “Ganymede” instead. Seriously, though any port in a storm, amirite?

Duke Senior – male presenting, 45 – whatever, Daddy dearest. Or Robin Hood. Or Green Man. Rosalind’s father. He was overthrown by his brother Duke Freddy, and is living in the Forest of Arder with his followers. Make no mistake, his love of prancing furry creatures doesn’t keep him from hunting them and rhapsodizing about them, but hey circle of life.

Duke Frederick- male presenting, 45 – whatever, The Usurper. He is suspicious of everyone and believes strength is power. He banishes his brother to control the kingdom. He is Celia’s father. The bad guy.

Corin – any gender, 45 – whatever, an old shepherd and friend to Silvius. He helps Rosalind and Celia to find shelter in the Forest of Arden and drops some pastoral wisdom along the way.

Touchstone – male presenting, 40 – up, the court fool. He travels with Rosalind and Celia into the Forest of Arden where he meets and woos Audrey, the goatherd.

Audrey – female presenting, 30ish and up, a goatherd from the Forest of Arden who hits it off with Touchstone. Bawdy gal with some miles on her but ready to put a ring on it.

Silvius – male presenting, 18 – up, love-struck, moon-struck, in love with Phoebe and she does not feel the same about him. Yet. He’s nothing if not persistent, though.

Supporting characters:
Charles the Wrestler – just that. That’s what he is
Adam, servant to Oliver and friend to Orlando
Dennis, servant to Oliver
Le Beau – courtier at Duke Freddy’s court
Amiens – lord attending Duke Senior in exile, he sings a bit
William – a country youth in love with Audrey
Sir Oliver Martext – a parish priest
