it play itself definitely exhibits postmodern elements. the opening scene for instance is a dramatic encounter between swain of modern times and shakespeare who lived 400 years ago. williamson has also adapted parts of 'as you like it' into his play as a means of blurring the distinction between genre types, dismantling established values of texts and achieving a very pomo effect. however, the play also challenges post-structuralist values which, by claiming that there is no human nature and everyone is but a social construct with no absolute benchmark or truth of reality, alligns itself with postmodern thinking. overall, i suppose we can conclude that the play uses pomo techniques to challenge pomo thinking, because it stands that the values of the play are quite conservative.
