Love's Labour's Lost
Four scholars swear off women just as four women arrive.
First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.
The story
The King of Navarre and three companions vow to spend three years studying, fasting and avoiding women. Their plan immediately begins to unravel when the Princess of France arrives with three ladies, leaving each man secretly infatuated and struggling to conceal that he has broken the same solemn oath.
In the room
Elaborate wordplay, letters, disguises and symmetrical courtship games drive an early comedy that repeatedly tests whether intellectual ideals can survive contact with desire and reality.
Good fit if you like
verbal comedy, impossible vows, courtship games and clever romantic ensembles.
