Product Description


When the King of Navarre and his three courtiers forswear all pleasure - particularly of the female variety - in favour of a life of study, the arrival of the Princess of France and her ladies plays havoc with their intentions. Using every kind of verbal gymnastics to poke fun, Shakespeare's most intellectual comedy is brought to hilarious life in Dominic Dromgoole's highly entertaining production, rich in visual humour and sexual innuendo. Jonathan Fensom's knot garden and original music by Claire van Kampen create the framework for an engaging performance by an excellent cast. Filmed live in High Definition and true surround sound.

    This is simply put tremendous. As my English teacher told me years ago, Shakespeare wrote plays-they are meant to be SEEN, not read. And a stellar production like this makes the Bards work easy to understand. I'm not going to go into a blow by blow plot detail-in short: The king of Navare has decided to expand his mind by swearing off women and dedicating himself to 3 years of study. He gets 3 of his friends to agree to join him. No sooner do they start on their quest than the King of France sends his daughter to him (a marriage would be a good alliance between the 2 countries). The king refuses to admit her to court and the Princess and her 3 ladies in waiting set up their court in tents outside the city walls. Well of course the men fall in love with with women and go to extraordinary lengths to prove their love. One particular scene involves the men reading letters to said ladies declaring their love - each man thinks they are alone in the woods when they do this (and the King accidentally drops his letter). There ensues chaos and great comedy as each man reacts to what one is saying-and the King tries to retrieve his dropped letter. The play ends with the news of the King of France's death and his daughters need to return home. The women cannot respect the men if they break their oath but of course they are all in love too-so an agreed wait time of one year is decided-if they all feel the same at the end of that time marriage may be entertained. The filmed Globe plays are a great way to see Shakespeare. The quality of the acting, the scenery, the music make for an amazing experience. Each play ends with a jig as they ended in Shakespeare's time-the whole cast do a dance and take their bows! One benefit of this particular edition too is that Opus Arte who released it include a lovely booklet explaining the plot and the Bard himself. And there are subtitles if needed (I know some of the other plays which have been released by Kultur do not have this causing complaints by the hard of hearing). Enjoy this feast-I really did laugh myself silly

    The performers in this production are outstanding -- expert comic timing, a superbly natural rendition of these highly poetic lines (if "natural" is the right word in this context), and even a wonderful use of stage space that sometimes approaches athleticism. Production values are excellent; despite its being a live stage show, voices are always well-metered and clear at every volume level, from murmurs to shouts, and the camera angles are apt and imaginative.

    These virtues are essential in performance, as the play itself is one of Shakespeare's more challenging for some of us. The plot is artificial and bare-bones, no great moral issues are touched, and the entertainment value lies almost completely in the rapid-fire wordplay of four couples unexpectedly in love.

    A note from my own experience: More than with some of the plays which seem familiar and straightforward to us (say, Othello, Romeo & Juliet, Much Ado About Nothing), a viewing of this movie is perhaps enhanced by one's having already read through the text.

    I was almost going to give this DVD three stars--but I feel that my inability to really enjoy this production may be a case of Shakespearean snobbism. What fascinated and delighted me was that this is performed at Shakespeare's Globe in London in 2009. Shakespeare was written to be performed live. But with this production the humor is exaggerated to an absurd and, for me, unnatural degree. Rather than laugh at the Bard's brilliant wit and comic genius, the audience is merely reacting (and thoroughly delighted) by the actor's antics, their grimaces and shrieks. In the first portion of the play, before the appearances of the women of France, every character is played as clown, unnaturally. I far prefer the performance in the BBC television production of 1984, under the direction of Elijah Moshinsky. But it is really unfair to compare a studio production with a live performance. When I was acting, the audience gave me energy with their response, their laughter and their applause. The players in this production all seem very capable, but their performances are marred by their unnatural clownishness, their reaching for laughs that actually detracts from characterization.

    The play is wonderful, and this production has many delightful moments. My favorite performance, remarkably, is that of Seroca Davis as Moth--she seems a genuine wit among so many zanies. Paul Ready's accent sometimes mars the enunciation of his lines, but he is very funny and quite good as Don Armado.

    I think, had I been there in the audience, I would have been charmed by the production in spite of my stuffiness as a Shakespeare purist. I know I would have been enthralled by the dancing and music, by the liveliness of the production as it swept over the audience and won their hearts. Live performances are a beast all their own. I have never really enjoyed local live productions of Shakespeare because too many things annoy me: the poor acting, the American dialects that rush lines and loses poetry, and the playing for laughs at questionable points so as to delight an audience and win their favor. Perhaps, in America, we need such aspects so as to enjoy Shakespeare. This poet and playwright has adapted through the ages--remarkably. That audiences still love the plays is cause for celebration.

    This DVD comes with a fine booklet of 28 pages filled with photos of the production and an Introduction to and Synopsis of the play.

    A great edition of this play as it is performed at the Globe. This makes it a special experience for anyone who loves
    Shakespeare. I hope they film more of the plays at this theater....historically one feels as though time falls away and
    you view it as the people did then.

    Excellent production and acting in period costumes. If having difficulty understanding what is being said suggest reading the play's text first; I found that very helpful.
  • Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2013
    The play loses much of its charm because the production is full of manic performances. Such acting should be done here and there. It is tiring if it is sustained. A play needs variety.

    If you ever have to read Shakespeare, it is ALWAYS better to see it performed as well. This was a wonderful play to go along with my required reading for school! :-)

    5.0 out of 5 stars The words of Mercury are harsh after the songs of Apollo. You buy it. I bought it! You won't regret it.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2017
    This is my find of the year. A truly excellent production. A wonderful colourful setting with a prominent knotted garden motif. The Renaissance-style music is just right too and the costumes are gorgeous. The acting just out of this world. In the RSC guide to the play Jonathan Bate wrote "Love's Labour's Lost is a play packed with wit, elegance, philosophical reflection and filthy jokes". This production certainly brings out all these elements with vim and vigour. If you don't mind a bit of healthy vulgarity and bawdiness ( I don't ) and if you love to hear truly beautiful language spoken marvellously well (I do ) and if, like me, you love a touch of hilarious farce, this production is for you. All the actors are superb but I particularly enjoyed Michelle Terry's performance as The Princess of France, Philip Cumbus as The King of Navarre, Paul Ready as Don Armado and Trystan Gravelle as Berowne with his lovely lilting Welsh accent.
    The song to the owl and the cuckoo that ends the play is beautifully done. I can' t get these lines or the tune out of my head:
    When icicles hang by the wall
    And Dick the shepherd blows his nail
    And Tom bears logs into the hall
    And milk comes frozen home in pail,

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 12, 2014
    This performance is everything a Shakespeare comedic play ought to be! It's uproariously, laugh out loud funny at times, brilliantly acted by all players and the diction, the clarity with which the lines are delivered are first rate - and it's in The Globe, a setting imitating that for which Shakespeare wrote. Excellent in every way and surely a definitive performance of Love's Labour's Lost. This play is a bit 'verbose' at times, the linguistic sparring and ironic arguments demanding of close attention, perhaps at the expense of full enjoyment of the plot, but this high energy, brilliantly creative production, boldly interactive with its audience and ever mindful of their entertainment, lifts and makes sense of even the 'wordiest' exchanges. Shakespeare would have loved it!

    3.0 out of 5 stars A bit disappointing
    Reviewed in Canada on September 12, 2011
    A bit amateurish with lots of striding around the stage to no particular purpose. Fun to watch a production at the recreated Globe but the old BBC production of Love's Labour's Lost is much better though hard to find at a reasonable price. Check your library. And to see how to really do a Shakespeare play on an open stage, check out the Stratford Canada productions filmed by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. No LLL but terrific productions of As You Like It, Twelfth Night, The Taming of the Shrew and The Tempest.
