Love's Labour's Lost: Play Discussion

Tabling: The Podcast

Ariana has a chat with director Bronwyn Barnwell about her Radio Shakespeare Lab production of Love’s Labour’s Lost with her dream cast! We are joined by some of the actors from her production to discuss the play and process including Charlie Morton, Preston Perrin, Ly Poe, Alexander Mushore, with Ian Gould. Among many things, we talk about the remarkably difficulty of the language of this play, the unique process of creation in isolation, metatheacricality, character doubles, rhyming, romantic fools, women as strong political figures called away for duty, how each character is clever in a distinctive way, Boyet as a Puck-like figure, significance of nationalities, math and numerology, and dirty language. Be sure to catch Love’s Labour’s Lost over on Radio Shakespeare Lab over the next five Fridays!
