Love's Labour's Lost at Helen Borgers Theatre

Stage Raw - Not Recommended

"...If there is a fault with the production, other than the rudimentary set and flat lighting, it’s largely directorial. Granted, there are a number of broad and inventive strokes in the staging — frequent pop music stings, a character sporting sunglasses (oddly out of keeping with the stringent period attire), the popcorn munching and the Big Gulp slurping, etc. Yet adapter English straddles the line between the straight and the slapstick, never fully committing to the pure, outlandish nuttiness that could have made these Labours less laborious and more consistently entertaining."
