BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. One of Shakespeare’s earliest comedies, Love’s Labor’s Lost is set in Navarre where the King and his three lords swear an oath to scholarship, fasting and abstaining completely from the company of women. Meanwhile, the Princess of France has arrived to visit the King. Hosting the Princess and her entourage in a remote camp, the King soon finds himself love struck. Plots to woo the Princess lead to mistaken identities, pranks and broken oaths.
