Love’s Labour’s Lost

Love’s Labour’s Lost belongs to that club of rarely peformed Shakespeare plays where the name is more famous than the acxtual story. This summer, though, it gets its biggest Globe – and indeed, London – production in over 20 years, with a lavish revival headed up by director Indiana Lown-Collins. We don’t know a lot about casting, but we do know that the cast is being put through a flamenco bootcamp, the better to take on this Spain-set drama about four lords who forswear women in order to better focus on their studies and general manliness – but things are complicated when for hot women arrive in court on a diplomatic mission.
