from the Stage of
SHAKESPEARE’S GLOBE THEATRE in London!
“Captivated the audience to a degree that I would not have thought possible! It’s a treat!” – The Independent
In cinemas Saturday February 27th, theatre fans will be treated to the third captivating West End production in High Definition from the most spectacular of London’s theatre venues, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre on the Thames. The Bard’s Love’s Labour’s Lost is the final exciting Globe Theatre productions to be presented this winter at select Landmark Cinemas locations and other select theatres in Canada this winter. Distributed worldwide by DigiScreen, the highly acclaimed production appears on select Canadian screens as part of an ongoing cinema series from the world’s great stages presented by The Royal Opera House’s Opus Arte.
Artistic director Dominic Dromgoole graces the Globe Theatre stage with a revival of a previous critical and popular triumph: his extraordinary production of Love’s Labour’s Lost. Shakespeare’s celebration of the claims of young love is a festive parade of every weapon in the youthful playwright’s comic arsenal – from excruciating cross-purposes to silly impersonations, drunkenness, bustups and pratfalls. It’s also his most joyful banquet of language, groaning with puns, rhymes, bizarre syntax, grotesque coinages and parody. The King of Navarre and his courtiers have forsworn every kind of pleasure. But a visit from the Princess of France and her lovely entourage soon has this all-male ‘academe’ tearing up its own rulebook. The revival of Love’s Labour’s Lost provides the Globe Theatre with the occasion to re-weave its enchanting spell over new audiences around the
world.
“Entirely enchanting!” – The Times
Love’s Labour’s Lost was captured before a live audience at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in October 2009
