Booking to 18 March 2017
Love’s Labour’s Lost RSC at the Theatre Royal Haymarket
The RSC Chichester Festival Theatre productions of Christopher Luscombe’s heart-warming double bill Love’s Labour’s Lost and Much Ado about Nothing (or Love’s Labour’s Won) will play a limited West End season.
Shakespeare’s sparkling comedy delights in championing and then unravelling an unrealistic vow, and mischievously suggesting that the study of the opposite sex is in fact the highest of all academic endeavours.
Love’s Labour’s Lost RSC will run from 9 December 2016 until 18 March 2017 at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.
