Rosalind

This is a one-act play by James M. Barrie.

From the book James Matthew Bradie: An Appreciation by Professor James A. Roy 1938:

A young Oxford man with ‘a nice taste in the arts that has come to him by way of socks, spats, and slips," falls in love with a charming actress. He goes to see his divinity "in a cottage by the sea," but finds on the sofa a middle-aged women whom e takes to be her mother. For a time she keeps up the joke and then explains there is no daughter. Young Roche goes off cured. Light as the treatment of the theme is, the little play is definitely related to Barrie's other work. The professional actress remains like Peter Pan, in the Fairy-land of Youth, but the woman choses the actual world with its disillusionments and responsibilities.

This article, two years before the actual play, refers to the play becoming the property of Maude Adams, meaning that it was based on As You Like It but was limited to one act. It was two years after this article before she did the play itself, though.
