About the show

‘Let us once lose our oaths to find ourselves, Or else we lose ourselves to keep our oaths.’ Taking an oath to isolate themselves from the trivial distractions of women and love, four men think a spell of celibacy, study and self-improvement is the key to maxing out their potential. But when a Princess and her three companions arrive on a diplomatic mission, the allure of abstinence begins to evaporate. Something’s got to give… Love's Labour's Lost played in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, from 11 April to 18 May 2024. It was the opening production in the first season from Co-Artistic Directors Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey.
