Description:
Live At the Lyric presents: American Shakespeare Center performing Love's Labour's Lost on Friday, September 14th. Curtains up at 8 pm.
In Love’s Labour’s Lost, the King of Navarre and his three schoolmates are ripe for an education in love from the Princess of France and her three ladies. Joining the lovers is a brilliantly goofy troupe of clowns, including the love-warrior Don Armado and the lust-sick rogue Costard, who ardently pursue the affections of a winsome country maid — and who perform an unforgettable pageant for the royals. Written around the same time as Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, this giddy and extravagant romantic comedy is Shakespeare’s most exuberant wordfest — a joyful carnival of love, loss, and hope.
The American Shakespeare Center On Tour is the international touring arm of the American Shakespeare Center. Direct from the stage of the ASC's celebrated Blackfriars Playhouse, the worlds only re-creation of Shakespeare’s indoor theatre, the American Shakespeare Center On Tour boasts more than two decades worth of global touring experience. This elite troupe stands as one of America’s foremost providers of quality entertainment to performing and fine arts centers on both sides of the Atlantic.
