Kinsale College of Further
Education presents:
Love’s Labour’s Lost
Written by William Shakespeare and Directed by Belinda Wild.
- a
comic celebration of young love and its
pitfalls-
The King of Navarre and his friends vow to study in seclusion for 3 years and deny themselves food, sleep and….. women! When the desirable Princess of France and her feisty female companions arrive at the gates, the young men’s resolve is severely tested, with hilarious results.
As the men struggle and the women delight in outwitting them, they are aided and abetted by an eccentric cast of characters featuring, a flamboyant Spanish knight, a pedantic schoolmistress, an unctuous parson and a vengeful clown. Full of clever verbal tricks and comic invention Shakespeare’s exuberant comedy proves that the course of true love never does run smooth.
Belinda Wild has extensive
experience of directing accessible, dynamic and imaginative versions of
Shakespeare’s plays and Love’s Labour’s Lost follows the riotous success of previous Shakespearean
productions from Kinsale College including, A Midsummer Night’s Dream
and The Merry Wives of Windsor.
The audience laughed with uncontrollable
abandon………wonderful team spirit.
