“Love’s Labour’s Lost” performed to sold-out crowds this past November, sparking the company to add dates. One of Shakespeare's early comedies, “Love’s Labour’s Lost” follows the King of Navarre and his courtiers forswear all pleasures to pursue their studies.
In order to dedicate themselves to a life of study, the King and his friends take an oath to avoid the company of women for three years. No sooner have they made their idealistic pledge than the Princess of France and her ladies-in-waiting arrive, presenting the men with a severe test of their high-minded resolve.
