Indulgent bands of lovers abound; a group of academics think they can swear off love and replace temptation with rigorous study…good luck!
Love’s Labour’s Lost is a lyrical farce — romantic nobles meet witty clowns. Like an early version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream — both titles were private commissions that Shakespeare wrote for the aristocratic Southampton family during the English plague of 1592-1593. Another opinion says Love’s Labour’s Lost is the prequel to Much Ado About Nothing (subtitled in some versions as “Love’s Labour’s Won.”)
