How do you justify the title of drama As You Like It by Shakespeare?

I suppose Shakespeare was trying to tell his prospective audience that this was the kind of play they liked, in order to get them to buy tickets and come to the show. The secondary title of his play Twelfth Night or What You Will means about the same thing.

What is interesting about the history of William Shakespeare theater?
There is no theatre called "William Shakespeare Theater", at least not as far as I can tell, so your question might be about:One of the theatres Shakespeare worked in, like the Theatre, Curtain, Globe and Blackfriars. He also performed at the Rose and Newington Butts.One of the theatres Shakespeare had shares in, like the Globe or Blackfriars. Shakespeare was not the primary owner of any theatres.The reconstructed Globe theatre which now stands in London, the official name of which is "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre".The state of drama at the time Shakespeare was working, in the same way we talk about "modern theatre", or "theatre of the absurd". The usual name for the kind of drama they had in England in Shakespeare's day was "Elizabethan drama" or "Jacobean drama".All of these have different histories with interesting facts. Did you know that Shakespeare and the company he performed with made the Curtain their main base when the landlord locked them out of the Theatre? Or that the Blackfriars theatre was constructed in the same room that a divorce hearing took place between Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon? Or that the reconstructed Globe theatre is the first thatched building built in London since 1666? Or that the demand for plays in Shakespeare's day was very great, because there were several acting companies, and each one brought out new plays once or twice a month?
What did William Shakespeare do at the age of 15?
At the age of 15, William Shakespeare likely attended school and studied subjects like Latin, rhetoric, and classical literature. He may have also learned about drama and theatrical performances, setting the foundation for his future career as a playwright and actor.
Is Shakespeare himself reflected in the play?
Never. None of the characters in any of Shakespeare's plays appear to reflect any part of Shakespeare's attitudes or beliefs and if they do, it is impossible to tell. Even with Hamlet's "advice to the players" (the speech in 3,2 which starts "Speak the speech I pray you as I prounounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue . . .") we hear ideas about the dramatic art which sound reasonable and the kind of thing an accomplished actor might say. But, hold on! Hamlet has expressed in 2,2 a love of the kind of drama we find in "Aeneas' tale to Dido", a play which just about everyone hated, which was "caviar to the general". Hamlet's taste in drama is snobbish and academic, and apparently he likes long tedious classical recitations. Was this really Shakespeare's attitude to drama? We'd like to think not, but otherwise aren't we just cherry-picking which of Hamlet's statements about drama we agree with and then concluding that they must have been Shakespeare's exclusively on the basis that we agree with them?
Why wasn't theater popular before Shakespeare?
But it was. Theatre was very popular in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Though much less sophisticated, drama was always popular in the middle ages. It wasn't until the sixteenth century, however, that drama in England really found its feet and became a true art form. And all the while it increased in popularity. This trend didn't start with Shakespeare. Most of the most influencial trends in Elizabethan drama started before Shakespeare was involved with the theatre. Blank verse drama started with Gorbuduc, written at about the time of Shakespeare's birth, and comedy structures were evolving with Gammer Gerton's Needle and Ralph Roister Doister at about the same time. The first purpose-built theatres were built when Shakespeare was a schoolboy. The most popular tragedy of the time was written before Shakespeare wrote a word. Shakespeare and his generation of playwrights like Middleton, Dekker, Jonson and Heywood built on the foundations that had been laid over the previous thirty years or so.
