Love Labour's Lost at Richard Goad Theatre

One of Shakespeare's most flamboyantly intellectual comedies, Love's Labour's Lost follows the King of Navarre and his three feckless friends, who take an oath to immerse themselves in their studies, swearing off contact with women for three years. As if on cue, the Princess of France arrives with her three gorgeous ladies-in-waiting and the young men find themselves struggling to keep their oath. Will they succeed, or will the game of love prove too enticing? Full of witty wordplay and playful pranks, this exuberant romantic comedy is a comic example of youthful idealism derailed by attraction. Don't miss the surprise ending when the show comes to Long Beach Shakespeare Company's Richard Goad Theatre.
