Love's Labour's Lost (2018)

By William Shakespeare

Starting at $20

"For where is any author in the world teaches such beauty as a woman's eye?"

Start your summer with a frothy, funny celebration of love and learning. In the bucolic Kingdom of Navarre, four attractive young men make a pact to swear off romance and focus on academia … just minutes before the four loves of their lives wander by. Shakespeare’s side-splitting comedy about the struggle to balance heart and head is the perfect ode to Colorado Shakespeare Festival's academic surroundings.

Juliet Wittman, Westword

Love's Labour's Lost (2018)

"Energetic! Arresting! A sharp and insightful take on an old classic."

A.H. Goldstein, Daily Camera

Love's Labour's Lost (2018)

"This play does a great job addressing that tumultuous time in people's lives and asking questions people start to ask themselves around that age: What's the line between love and infatuation? When do I need to take responsibility for myself? How will I contribute to the world?"

Love's Labour's Lost (2018)

"In the bucolic Kingdom of Navarre, four attractive young men make a pact to swear off romance and focus on their studies—just minutes before the future loves of their lives walk by. Hilarity ensues in the form of clever disguises, foolish pranks, mistaken identities and mixed messages."

"...The 'working class' characters — and the actors who play them — provide the biggest comedic bang for the buck!"

Gary Zeidner, Boulder Weekly

Love's Labour's Lost (2018)

"CSF brings to life an excellent version of Shakespeare’s most feminist — and arguably funniest — romantic comedy."
