Shakespeare’s “Love’s Labor Lost” Presented by Hole in the Wall Theater

New Britain’s Hole in the Wall Theater is to perform William Shakespeare’s “Love’s Labor Lost”, about, “what’s most important: one’s heart or one’s head.”

“When the Princess of France and her ladies-in-waiting come to Navarre on business from her father, they are turned away at the gates,” the Theater says, describing the play. “For three years the men of Navarre have sworn off all the luxuries of the world— including women—deciding instead to focus on academic and philosophical pursuits.

But, the Theater says, “When the men fall for the women, they must make a choice: lose an oath to find themselves or lose themselves to keep their oath? And even if they do foreswear their oaths, will their women accept them?”

The cast of the play includes Billy Moro as “Ferdinand”, Carlos Holden as “Berowne”, C.S. Dunn as “Longaville”, Chris Blum as “Armado”, Krysten Drachenberg as “Princess”, Meg Farinsky as “Rosaline”, Sara Lafrance as “Maria”, Jeanie Tuzzio as “Jaquenetta”, Wayne Crow as “Boyet”, John Bosco as “Moth”, Gene Tellier Jr. as “Holofernes”, David Sherman as “Costard” and Andrew Fal as “Nathaniel” and “Forester.”

The play is directed by Maranda Gallo and produced by Shawna Pelletier.

The play opens on Friday, October 7, 2022 and continues to October 22nd.

Tickets for the play are available at the Theater’s tickets web page. General admission, the Theater says, is $25 and, for students and seniors is $20.
