Apocalyptic Artists produces filmed adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays created specifically with young audiences in mind as a first entry point into classical theater. They have been screened publicly and for hundreds of students throughout the five boroughs, viewable in chapters and offered alongside innovative classroom curriculum developed by the company.
The Story
Banished from the society of court, Rosalind starts a new life in the Forest of Arden disguised as a boy. Outside the city limits, she discovers a newfound freedom of identity, expression, and love in a story that flips the script on romantic convention.
The Series
Set in present-day New York City and filmed in two locations, this playful adaptation juxtaposes an old Hollywood drama at the Duke’s Court and a bohemian romantic comedy in the Forest of Arden where characters explore new identities and new ways of living. Through this story of love and possibility, Apocalyptic invites our audience to consider: how might we live in harmony with each other and Nature?
