Rosalind by Scottish playwright James M. Barrie. An aging actress, Beatrice, renowned for her portrayal of Rosalind in Shakespeare’s As You Like It. Calling herself “Mrs. Page,” she has come to a vacation cottage by the sea, far from London, to relax and revel, secretly, in her middle-agedness. She hides her identity, only to reveal it to a young admirer and the short play continues to a charming conclusion.

The play was the Johannesburg Repertory Society's entry for the 1943 F.A.T.S.A. Play Festival, featuring Jessie Bryant.
