Shakespeare in South Park presents Love’s Labour’s Lost
“Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye.”
"Love’s Labour’s Lost" by William Shakespeare in South Park Aug 16, 17 & 18
Shakespeare in South Park launches its 15th season this summer with one of the Bard's early comedies: "Love’s Labour’s Lost" is believed to have been written in the 16th century for a performance at the Inns of Court before Queen Elizabeth I.
This Shakespearean romp follows a group of over-eager fellas who swear off women for three years of studious solitude. But hilarity (and romance!) ensues when a gaggle of gorgeous ladies arrive, turning their scholarly pursuits into a battle of the sexes. Expect mistaken identities, witty wordplay, and a whole lot of musical mayhem in this delightful exploration of love, friendship, and the folly of taking yourself too seriously.
