Love's Labour's Lost
By William Shakespeare | Directed by Cailin Heffernan
In association with Bryant Park Shakespeare
A king and his friends swear an oath to renounce women for three years while studying together. But scholarship and brotherhood take an interesting turn with the arrival of four lovely ladies from France. The boys go in disguise to woo, but the gals have the upper hand. Don’t they always?
Lickspittles, Buttonholers and Damned Pernicious Go-Betweens
By Johnna Adams | Directed by John Hurley
May 1st-17th, 2015 at Teatro Circulo
Three extraneous Danish court officials: a professional loud mouth (the buttonholer), a kiss ass for hire (the lickspittle) and a successful dastard (the go-between) are tossed out of court just as Denmark’s merchant fleet becomes of strategic importance in the Napoleonic war. The three men journey to France and meet Napoleon’s top lickspittle, buttonholer and go-between, their female counterparts. Plots abound, flying machines are destroyed and the head of Marie Antoinette is discovered during the madcap struggle to save Copenhagen from British howitzers. In a rhyming, metered world, the offbeat rules.
