"Love's labour's lost" by heart of america shakespeare festival

Taking an oath to isolate themselves from the oh-so-trivial distractions of women and LOVE, four men think that a focus on study, self-improvement and celibacy is the key to personal success. But when a Princess and her three companions arrive…something’s gotta give. Relish the chance to bask in summer love with this early comedy of Shakespeare’s.
