Inspired by the format of the horror anthology "The ABCs of Death", the show present 26 scenes each inspired by a letter of the alphabet. Guest writers were assigned letters at random and asked to choose a word that begins with that letter to serve as the title of their piece. The cast of 7 will perform all 26 pieces in alphabetical order.

Matthew’s wife, Lisa, is having an affair with Adrian, a British director. Or perhaps the affair is part of a play being rehearsed. Or perhaps Matthew has imagined it all. But a mysterious woman who seems to shadow the others brings the story to its surprising conclusion…or does she? The audience plays the role of detective in this hilarious, multi-layered comedy of suspicion about love, lust, and the power of deception in which nothing is ever quite what it seems.

Though widely considered to be part of Shakespeare’s comic canon, As You Like It also takes a walk on the dark side. It is a study in contrasts, a pastoral comedy and romance with a satirical bite. The production merges a traditional Elizabethan approach with modern acting techniques.
