There has long been discussion that Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost and Much Ado About Nothing may have been intended to be connected in some way. Love's Labour's Lost  ends abruptly with no conclusion to the promises of rekindling love connections and Much Ado About Nothing never explains the incredibly fractious relationship between Benedick and Beatrice. Christopher Luscombe paired the two plays back in 2015 at the RSC and now director Tom Littler stitches both plays together in gorgeous al fresco productions, as the Orange Tree theatre continues its renovation.

The flimsy theme holding together this year’s summer season at Shakespeare’s Globe is ‘1599 or 1939’, which has allowed them to stage a work by Brecht as well as several Shakespeare plays which are frequent flyers at this theatre complex. Fortunately it leaves room for something which hasn’t been produced for either stage since Michelle Terry’s inaugural season in 2018; this Love’s Labour’s Lost, however, finds itself in the outdoor Globe Theatre and with a distinctive Spanish flavour.
