Love's Labour's Lost

Romance, revelry and enchanting music ignite in this contemporary, yet lovingly faithful, musical adaptation of Shakespeare's comedy.

Smart, sexy, outrageous and irreverent, Love's Labour's Lost is a madcap celebration of true love and coming of age featuring an ensemble cast and an infectious pop score.

The story begins when the King and his best buds decide at their five-year college reunion to swear off the joys of women. But when four cute, clever girls from their past show up, they're forced to reconsider all that nonsense! Add in an outlandish Spanish exchange student, a performance art-loving professor; and love and devotion are put to the test with hilarious results.

Originally penned in 2013 for the NYC Shakespeare in the Park series, Footlights Theatrical will present the Queensland premiere of this modernised classic at the Ron Hurley Theatre in June 2023.
