THE WORLD'S FINEST OPERA
BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Shakespeare: Love's Labour's Lost & Won Boxed Set
Sam Alexander (King of Navarre/Don John); Peter Basham (Gamekeeper); William Belchambers (Longaville); Edward Bennett (Berowne/Benedick); Michelle Terry (Beatrice); Nick Haverson (Costard/Dogberry); Emma Manton (Jaquenetta); John Hodgkinson (Don Armado); Tunji Kasim (Claudio/Dumaine); Flora Spencer-Longhurst (Hero)
Christopher Luscombe directs Shakespeare’s great pair of romantic comedies, Love’s Labour’s Lost and Love’s Labour’s Won – the latter usually known as Much Ado About Nothing. He places them either side of the First World War, with stage designs evoking the magical setting of Charlecote Park, a few miles from Stratford-upon-Avon.
Love’s Labour’s Lost conjures up the carefree elegance of a pre-war Edwardian summer; in post-war Love’s Labour’s Won the world has changed forever, the roaring ’20s just around the corner. One company of actors performs in both productions, with Edward Bennett and Michelle Terry as the sparring couple in each.
