Love's Labor's Won at The Upstart Crow

At the end of Shakespeare’s play Love’s Labour’s Lost, four pairs of lovers are separated by the news of the King of France’s death.  The Princess of France and her ladies return home; the King of Navarre and his friends vow to be faithful for a year.

If Shakespeare ever wrote the sequel, it hasn’t survived the ravages of time.  But TUC is happy to announce the next best thing: the world premiere of Katherine Dubois’s play Love’s Labor’s Won, which takes up the action after that year has passed.  There’s no attempt to copy Shakespeare’s style (except for the bad puns), but most of the characters are back.
