–CHICAGO TRIBUNE

A winning comedy ...zesty, fun 

–MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL

A newly released highlight from our collection! Shakespeare’s playful romantic comedy comes to life in Marti Maraden’s sumptuous 2017 production, recorded by multiple cameras in front of a live audience in the Courtyard Theater. Rejecting the indulgence of life at court, King Ferdinand of Navarre’s “no fun” edict mandates scholarly endeavors, quiet contemplation and complete commitment to chastity for three entire years. But it doesn’t take long for everyone to figure out that rules are meant to be broken—especially when the French Princess and her beautiful entourage arrive on the scene. The puns fly and wordplay takes flight as the women set out to teach the men a thing or two about love.
