Well that was absolutely glorious. I hadn't previously seen a performance of Love's Labour's Lost so imagine my surprise and delight at finding out that Shakespeare had written something that can only be described as a jukebox musical set in Ibiza in the mid 1990s.
Friends, there was singing! There was dancing! There was fast and clever wordplay and rhyming, There was laughter galore, silliness, confusion, and an ever-so-convoluted plot worthy of the Bard himself. Ahh yes, it all starts to come together.
This was a fantastic joyous and joyful performance and I really loved it. If you can get to either Prescot (Liverpool) or Scarborough in the next month or two, do yourself a favour and book tickets, you won't regret it.
And yes, of course the gliter ball got used.
