Love's Labour's Lost March 31, 2007

'Love's Labour's Lost' by William Shakespeare tells the story of the King of Navarre and his three friends who have sworn off women for the next three years in order to focus on self-improvement. Inevitably a princess and her three friends show up and steal their hearts. The men attempt to hide the fact that they're falling in love -- from each other and from the women. Meanwhile the girls exchange identities when the men, disguised as Russians, come to woo them. It's a classic Shakespeare combination of disguise, love and harmless deception.
