 '''''As You Like It''''' was a play by [[William Shakespeare]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Exits and Entrances (short story)|Exits and Entrances]]'', ''[[As You Like It (short story)|As You Like It]]'')
+Partly set in the [[Forest of Arden]], the play's plot concerned the [[exile]] of [[Duke Senior]] and [[Jaques (As You Like It)|the "melancholy" Jaques]] to the [[forest]] after the former was usurped by his [[brother]], [[Frederick (As You Like It)|Frederick]], and they were both banished from court. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[As You Like It (short story)|As You Like It]]'')
+''As You Like It'' featured one of Shakespeare's most famous [[speech]]es. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Exits and Entrances (short story)|Exits and Entrances]]'') This speech began with the lines “All the world’s a [[Stage play|stage]], and all the men and women merely [[Actor|players]]", as quoted by the [[Tenth Doctor]] and [[Donna Noble]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Legends of Camelot (novel)|Legends of Camelot]]'') However, an early draft of the speech beginning "The [[cosmos]] is a stage, and all, from thou to [[Fenric]], merely players", appeared without explanation in the [[Shakespeare Notebooks|Shakespeare's notebooks]]. ''[[The Shakespeare Notebooks]]'' speculated that it was "probably revised" as many of the allusions seemed rather obscure. It was spoken by [[Time Lord (Exits and Entrances)|an unnamed character]] who identified as a [[Time Lord]] clearly based upon the [[Seventh Doctor]]. They reflected upon their previous [[incarnation]]s during the piece. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Exits and Entrances (short story)|Exits and Entrances]]'')
+A transcript from an early [[17th century]] staging of the play also appeared in the Notebooks. As it differed considerably from all other known versions of the text, ''The Shakespeare Notebooks'' suggested the diversion may have been unique to a single performance and "perhaps" an extreme example of improvisation by the [[actor]]s involved. The transcript featured [[Clown (As You Like It)|a clown]] (referred to in dialogue as "a [[fool]]") and a character named [[Peri Brown (As You Like It)|Peri Brown]] who travelled together through [[time]] and [[space]] in their [[home]] which they called [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]]. The two were clearly based upon the [[Sixth Doctor]] and his [[Peri Brown|companion of the same name]]. During the play, the clown encountered Jaques, a meeting which he relayed to Duke Senior, but after this they left in the TARDIS with apparently no further effect on the main action. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[As You Like It (short story)|As You Like It]]'')
+''As You Like It'' was one of many Shakespeare's plays which the [[bookshop]] [[Books Unltd]] stocked in the [[21st century]]. After an outraged [[Robert Greene]] used the [[Shadey]]s' powers to wreak destruction to the shop upon finding out that Shakespeare had been remembered by [[history]] instead of him, a copy of ''As You Like It'' was in pieces when the [[Ninth Doctor]] and [[Rose Tyler]] arrived to investigate. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Groatsworth of Wit (comic story)|A Groatsworth of Wit]]'')
+[[Martha Jones]] had seen ''As You Like It'' in [[Stratford]] on a school trip. She complained that her teachers had made it dull, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Martha Jones' MySpace blog (short story)|Martha Jones' MySpace blog]]'') unlike the William Shakespeare whom she later met in real life.
