Shakespeare in Crawford Park Slated for Sept. 17
Spend an evening with lords and ladies as local actors transform Crawford Park into a 16th-century French court.
Local actors will bring one of Shakespeare's lesser-known plays to life later this month, with an outdoor performance at Crawford Park.
Love's Labor's Lost combines comedy, court intrigue and 16th-century wit for a tale about a king and noblemen who devote themselves to three years of intellectual pursuit and find themselves tempted when a French princess and her ladies-in-waiting arrive at court.
The play was first performed in the English court for Queen Elizabeth in 1597.

Visitors are encouraged to bring picnic meals and blankets. For more information, and to make reservations, visit the Friends of Crawford Park online.
