About the show
Songs by: Michael Friedman
Book adapted by: Alex Timbers
Based on the play by: William Shakespeare
Directed by: Owen Thomas James
Presented by: Sedos
Love’s Labour’s Lost is a sun-drenched musical that reimagines Shakespeare’s comedy as a bittersweet rock musical set at a university college reunion. Alex Timbers and Michael Friedman have combined pop-rock bangers, outrageous gags, and plenty of nods to the original.
Featuring a riot of vows, disguises, and romance gone wrong – the King and his friends renew a vow they made when they graduated to avoid all pleasures and all women. That plan unravels when the Princess and her companions arrive. This production will question what it means to promise something, and what it means to break it. Smart, sexy, and gloriously silly, this is Shakespeare like you’ve never seen him before.
Date/Time: 15 - 19 September @ 7.30pm. Saturday matinee @ 2.30pm
