As You Like It. Rosalind is banished by her uncle because she loves a man her uncle dislikes. She goes into the forest Arden with her cousing Celia and Touchstone the court fool. There, she meets the man she loves, Orlando, and tutors him in love. He does not know its her. In the end, she arranges the marriage between him and Rosalind, and they live happily ever after!

1. "Shakespeare in Love" is a movie. It isn't a play, let alone a play by Shakespeare... ugh stupid people...
2. MANY of Shakespeare's plays involve women pretending to be men or boys. "Twelfth Night" is probably the one where it's the most important feature, but in many others it's used to a certain extent, IE "Merchant of Venice."
3. It's interesting to note that this was a really prevalent thing in theatre during this time, probably at least partially because for a LONG time women weren't allowed to be onstage-- it was considered to be a display of "public lewdness" or something like that, so all the female roles were played by prepubescent boys. Letting them be in men's clothes for part of the time was probably a lot easier-- and it was a lot more convincing when the "real" men in the play didn't realise that the men they were talking to were women.

Twelfth Night

As You Like it and Twelfth night are the most famous for cross-dressing heroines of comedies.
However, It's also used to great effect in Merchant of Venice and Two Gentlemen of Verona.

Which one? In "Twelfth Night," Viola disguises herself as Cesario. In "As You Like It," Rosalind disguises herself as Ganymede. Cross-dressing females are all over Shakespeare.

The Merchants of Venice

It was Twelfth Night where Viola takes on the persona of "Cesario" because she wants to serve Olivia though she ends up serving Orsino (the man pursuing Olivia)

A lot of them- In As you Like it, Rosalind disguises herself as Ganymede and captures Orlando's affections. This may be the one you are thinking of.
Hope this helps,

There are lots, but you are probably thinking of either "Twelfth Night" or "The Merchant of Venice."
