The program Shakespeare Allowed! brings participants together each month to read aloud one of Shakespeare’s works. The goal is to read all his works beginning with the first play he wrote and ending with his last. The program began last October, and will continue once a month over the next three years.
Love’s Labor’s Lost is scheduled to be read on Sat., June 6 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the downtown main library. The comedy follows the King of Navarre and his three noble companions and their anguish after taking an oath to devote three years to their studies--without the company of women. Temptation, and humor, is strong when the princess and her three ladies pay a visit to the kingdom.
The Nashville Shakespeare Festival invites everyone to bring their own copy of the play and join the reading circle, as an out-loud reader or as a listener. Shakespeare Allowed! is a free event, open to the public.
About Nashville Shakespeare Festival The mission of the Nashville Shakespeare Festival is to educate and entertain the Mid-South community through professional Shakespearean experiences.
