Love's Labour's Lost
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Laura Gordon
June 24 to August 31, 2013
Adams Shakespearean Theatre
All is peaceful in King Ferdinand's court, where he and his idealistic friends have resolved to dedicate themselves to three years of fasting, study—and no women. Peaceful, that is, until the beautiful princess of France and her ladies arrive. Could the lesson of this, one of Shakespeare's most delightful comedies, be that "young blood doth not obey an old degree?"
