Love’s Labour’s Lost

Venue

Shakespeare's Globe

This Summer, see Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost as you’ve never experienced it before, in this blazing, flamenco-inspired new production.

Passion, power, and poetry collide as four women arrive in Navarre on a diplomatic mission, testing the devotion of the King and his lords whose vows are undone by love, desire and wit.

In her Globe Theatre directing debut, Associate Artist Indiana Lown-Collins (former Globe Resident Artist, JMK Award winner for The Solid Life Of Sugar Water, Orange Tree Theatre) channels the warmth and vibrancy of her rural Spanish roots into this celebrated comedy, igniting it with the feeling and artistry of flamenco.

Step into a world of rhythm and fiery romantic tension, where joy and revelry mingle with longing, grief, and melancholy.

Rarely staged, Love’s Labour’s Lost is a raw, refreshingly human comedy that celebrates our desire for connection and dares to leave love unresolved.
