Love’s Labour’s Lost
Dates of performance
FROM 8 JANUARY 1991
Overview
The King of Navarre and three of his companions, Dumain, Longaville and Berowne, make a pact to schedule themselves for three in a little Academe, giving up worldly pleasures and, in particular, the society of woman. Berowne is already sceptical about the pact and its conditions, but even it can be put into effect it is jeopardized by the arrival of the Princess of France and her ladies-in-waiting on apolitical embassy.
The gentlemen immediately fall in love, each attempting to hide the fact from the others, but are found out. The Academe is in ruins.
