Rosalind
In this piece, Chandler features Dame Helen Mirren from the BBC's 1978 production, cleverly referencing Rosalind's cross-dressing as Ganymede. The design subtly implies wide trousers through a full skirt, and the strong pose emphasizes her gender fluidity. This theme is central to "As You Like It," making it a topical play for LGBTQ discussions. Chandler captures this complexity, making Rosalind the most detailed and elaborate of his portrayals. Rosalind is the only character to face the viewer which signifies her confidence and importance within the play. Ultimately, Rosalind marries Orlando..
