Shakespeare’s delightful coming-of-age comedy is a witty and hilarious ode to youthful aspirations, infatuations and follies. The young King of Navarre, along with three of his loyal friends, decide to dedicate themselves to the “noble pursuit of knowledge” for three full years, locking themselves away from all distractions…especially women.  (Image, Courtesy of The Shakespeare Theater of NJ)

Their “ivory tower” is soon shaken with the arrival of the lovely Princess of France and her three gamesome ladies-in-waiting. Filled with dazzling wordplay, strong comic characters and a few unexpected twists,

Love’s Labour’s Lost charms and touches the heartstrings of young and old alike. Director Abigail Isaac As You Like It tour, 2010) returns with an exciting new staging of this delicious Shakespeare confection. Performed by the NextStage Ensemble.

Weather permitting, the performance will be outdoors. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
