Shakespeare in the Park 2019
Love’s Labors Lost
May 31-June 23 *excluding Mondays
Show begins at 8p and ends approximately at 10:30p
Overview
Belonging to Shakespeare’s “lyrical” period, which also included Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the play tells the story of the Princess of France and her ladies who arrive on a diplomatic mission to Navarre only to be met by a young king and his lords who have taken a vow not to see women. Affairs of state give way to affairs of the heart as Shakespeare reveals with great humor and compassion the way our culture sometimes doesn’t fully prepare us for the realities of love and intimacy. A feast of language and theatrical virtuosity, Love’s Labors Lost shimmers with all the passion and promise of a first kiss.
Green Show
Enjoy light entertainment while breaking bread with family and friends! Shakespeare festivals around the country craft the show to fit local interests. At Shakespeare Festival St. Louis, our 90-minute Green Show includes local entertainers, a family activity and craft area, a 20-minute version of the mainstage show performed by members of the Shakespeare Squadron, and the Bard’s Buzz, a presentation summary and character outline of the play.
