ABOUT THE SHOW |
Love's Labors Lost is an early Shakespeare comedy set in the Kingdom of Navarre, focusing on the King of Navarre's decision to focus on serious academic study and avoid romance and women for three years - all of which is upended by the arrival of the Princess of Navarre.
The PAC Production updates the show to the modern day with a Prep School setting and gender-mixed casting. Set in Navarre Academy, the Student Council President (Ferdinand) convinces their three best friends to sign on to a pledge to study seriously and avoid romance. Just as they all sign the pledge, four exchange students from the French Academy arrive at Navarre Academy for the term. One by one the members of the Navarre Academy Student Council fall in love with one of the exchange students and go to great lengths to keep secret from the others that they have broken their pledge. Meanwhile, the other students of Navarre Academy get mixed up in the action, and drag the four couples into all of the other drama at school: Mathlete Drama, Sports Drama, Class Clown Drama, Hall Monitor Drama, Cool Kid Drama, Skater Punk Drama and even Drama Club Drama. The PAC Production features a gentle send up of High School stereotypes, and mixes into the madcap comedy modern day slang, contemporary pop music and even some TikTok trends. |
