‘The Globe is a glorious spectacle, even on a rainy night.’ Telegraph

Love’s Labour’s Lost Shakepeare’s boisterous comedy is a festive parade of excruciating misunderstandings and impersonations, drunkenness, bust-ups and pratfalls. Directed by acclaimed Globe Artistic Director Dominic Dromgoole. (165 mins, 22 on stage, 29–32 on the road.)
