Answer: 'All the world's a stage' is a monologue from Act II Scene VII of Shakespeare's play As You Like It. The speaker, Jacques, begins 'all the world's a stage' by asserting that life is like a stage on which “men and women merely” play roles. They play different parts throughout their lives, as the speaker is now.
