Love's Labour's Lost
Date & Time

Where
The Rake
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Barrie Rutter
Take four dashing young men.
Add a vow of celibacy.
Throw in a handful of beautiful young women … and wait for the sparks to fly!!!!
Northern Broadsides celebrates its 20th anniversary year with a delicious comedy that will entertain and delight. Romantic, mischievous and filled with youthful exuberance, Love’s Labour’s Lost fizzes likes bubbles in a champagne glass.
Barrie Rutter directs a charismatic cast of 17 multi-talented northern actors who will literally fill the stage in this fast-paced battle of the sexes. In true Broadsides’ style there’ll be rousing song and dance, scintillating performances, jaw-dropping comic timing and hilarious ‘steal-the-show’ scenes.
“The best Shakespeare around.”
The Independent on Sundayeb at 6.30pm exploring the themes of romance, comedy and the battle of the sexes.
Love's Labour's Lost is part of Lancaster's Season of Shakespeare.
