As You Like It - 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.
