From the Royal Shakespeare Company – a fresh new edition of Shakespeare''s dazzling comedy.

This book includes:

* An introduction to Love''s Labour''s Lost by award-winning scholar Jonathan Bate
* The play – with clear explanatory notes on each page
* A scene-by-scene analysis
* An introduction to Shakespeare''s career and the Elizabethan theatre
* A rich exploration of approaches to staging the play

The most enjoyable way to understand a Shakespeare play is to see it or participate in it.

This book presents a historical overview of Love''s Labour''s Lost in performance, recommends film versions, takes a detailed look at specific productions and includes interviews with three leading Directors – Terry Hands, Liz Shipman and Gregory Doran– so that we may get a sense of the extraordinary variety of interpretations that are possible - a variety that gives Shakespeare his unique capacity to be reinvented and made ''our contemporary'' four centuries after his death.
