In a period during which a play previously staged very traditionally was represented in a variety of original ways, Robert Smallwood looks at what we could call the ''Seven Ages of As You Like It'' by considering just what directors, designers and actors did differently to make their vision original.

What does each actress bring to the crucial role of Rosalind that will help show the journey from her relationship with Celia to that with Orlando?
