We Love Love’s Labour Lost
In the words of the Bard, “It’s a danged good show!”
OK, William Shakespeare never said that. But he might have put those sentiments into Iambic Pentameter after seeing the Clarence Brown Theatre production of Love’s Labour’s Lost in the Carousel Theatre.
As Willie couldn’t be with us, take a look at what the News-Sentinel’s Harold Duckett had to say about the play:
In set designer Jack Magaw’s magnificently minimal theater-in-the-round presentation that gives Sheakspeare’s river of words an iridescent glow, director John Sipes’ vision of transplanting Love’s Labors’ whimsical kingdom of Navarre to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1920s is successful beyond measure.
It goes on…
If all this is beginning to sound like an overload, it’s merely a Cliffs Notes version of the saturation experience that Clarence Brown Theatre artistic director Calvin Maclean has put together as the perfect antidote for these bleak economic times, at least for a couple of hours.
Read the entire review.
Oh, and you can take a look at Roger’s show photos on flickr.
Love’s Labour’s Lost runs through Sunday, March 15. Tickets are available through the Clarence Brown Theatre Box Office (865-974-5161) or online. You can even print your own tickets at home!
