Love's Labour's Lost

A young king and three compatriots renounce the company of women in favor of scholarly pursuits. Their pact is jeopardized when the Princess of France and her companions arrive. Will the men keep their monastic vows? Love's Labour's Lost is one of William Shakespeare's early comedies, and is full of witty wordplay and foolery. See this production on the politics of love and marriage now through June 9 at the Folger Theatre.
