Love's Labour's Lost

Love's Labour's Lost is a classic comedy by William Shakespeare.

The play opens with the King of Navarre and three noble companions, Berowne, Dumaine, and Longaville, taking an oath to devote themselves to three years of study, promising not to give in to the company of women. Berowne agrees somewhat more hesitantly than the others, reminding the king that the princess of France and her three ladies are coming to the kingdom and it was suicidal for the King to agree to this law. The King denies what Berowne says, insisting that the ladies make their camp in the field outside of his court. Eventually, over the course of the play the King and his men comically fall in love with the princess and her ladies.
