Description Set design for Forst of Arden: big see-through oaks to hide behind and overhear others. …And Lucy Schmidt plays Touchstone as a Wildean character - if not Wilde himself - and her goateed, sportscoated depiction is spot-on in everything except her capacious codpiece, which is not quite where it should be. But then, nor sometimes was Oscar's.
