Love’s Labor’s Lost @ Seattle Shakespeare (Seattle Center)
Filled with bawdy wit, Love’s Labor’s Lost playfully provokes thought on love, gender, and the games people play.
Ever fallen in love when you really didn’t want to? Intent on intellectual study for himself and his companions, King Navarre proclaims three years of all work and no play — including no romance. On cue, a princess and her ladies arrive at court on a diplomatic mission, and the men can’t help falling head over heels. Will they decide to break their oaths to pursue love? (Spoiler: Yes.) And if they do, just how ridiculous can things get?
