As You Like It, Shakespeare's Globe review
Let's face it, this is a plot in which the female love interest doesn't just disguise herself as a man but names herself after Ganymede, famed in mythology as Zeus's gay lover. The idea that this might be heteronormative in any way sounds like a spurious idea on some emotionally constipated academic's bookshelf. There's not just sauce for the goose here but plenty of sauciness for the gander.    Still, it's undeniable that Ellen McDougall's vibrant, glittering, funny, cheesy-song-studded production takes Shakespeare's initial plot and – after adding some more cross-gender casting flourishes – sends it spinning like a Catherine Wheel.
