four bachelors.
four single ladies.
one problem: the bachelors swore off women (and eating and sleeping) for the next three years.
it’s the set-up for a perfect rom-com. almost.
In this flirty, funky, fast-moving production, 12 of Chicago’s freshest actors traverse the knotted garden of clever words, coming-of-age lessons, and comically ill-advised disguises in Shakespeare’s wittiest comedy. Made for those who have never seen a Shakespeare play, and for those who could quote the entire canon extemporaneously – this is Love’s Labor’s Lost: Chicago-style.
