The Comedies with Joely Richardson

Season 1 Episode 2

All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. Joely Richardson looks into a pair of cross-dressing comedies, with their missing twins, mistaken identities, and characters in disguise: Shakespeare’s As You Like It and Twelfth Night.
