Love’s Labor’s Lost
Directed by Scott Wentworth
July 21 – August 29 • In the Festival Glen
King Ferdinand, of Navarre, decrees that he and his three lusty, young, noble lords shall forswear the distraction of women and devote themselves to intellectual studies. Not surprisingly, their reluctant scholarly pursuits are all but shattered upon the arrival of the Princess of France and her entourage of lovely, nubile women, with whom the lovesick men immediately fall in love.
This bittersweet, romantic – and at times, hysterically funny – play is Shakespeare’s most timeless and modern comedy, replete with witty debates, dazzling wordplay, and strongly drawn comic characters.
"[SSC's] outdoor production of Love's Labor's Lost, directed by Scott Wentworth, is a complete success. . . a show that is not just amusing but wildly, chokingly funny."
--The Wall Street Journal
". . . one of the most entertaining evenings of theater in a long time."
--Santa Cruz Sentinel
". . . an entertaining rendition of a comical play writ with sharp banter and consistent wordplay that is brilliantly executed. . ."
--Good Times
". . . a romantic comedy bristling with some of Shakespeare's most pun-inflected dialogue."
--Santa Cruz Weekly
