It may have been two long years coming, having been postponed due to Covid-19, but Off the Ground Theatre is overjoyed to finally be able to bring their production of Love's Labour's Lost to audiences across the north west of England and Wales this summer.

Shakespeare's most poetic play is a comedy all about love in its many forms, and what hapless, beautiful young people will do to find it. 

Ferdinand, King of the idyllic Navarre region of Spain, has sworn a vow with his three closest friends, and most trusted advisers, to avoid the company of women, to fast and to sleep just three hours a day for three years, so they can devote themselves fully to their studies. 

No sooner have they sworn this vow when the Princess of France arrives with her three ladies-in-waiting.

Director Connor Wray says: "What follows is a summer of carnival fun and games in the pursuit of love. There's singing, dancing and an utterly outrageous Spanish courtier making filthy jokes, before the touching and unexpected ending. As our lovers learn more about themselves and about love, who will end up together? 

"Come along to your local venue this summer and find out! Bring something to sit on, a picnic and your favourite beverage. Soak up the sunny evenings and be transported to the Spanish coast where decadence and poetry, Abba and Shakespeare, go hand in hand!"
