Shakespeare in the Garden: Love’s Labour’s Lost

King Ferdinand of Navarre and his friends vow celibacy for three years in order to devote themselves to scholarly pursuits. They forswear women for this period in order to keep their minds solely focused on learning. Unfortunately for them, they have forgotten that the Princess of France and her ladies are scheduled to visit on diplomatic business – when they meet, romantic chaos ensues as their vows are tested.

For over 30 years Castle Theatre Company has taken its annual summer Shakespeare tour around the South of England and the USA, performing classic comedies on the lawns of historic homes including Mapperton House and Gardens. Renowned for its high standard, Castle Theatre Company promises an afternoon of light-hearted family entertainment.

This production will take place on the Croquet Lawn at Mapperton House and Gardens on Tuesday 9th July. Picnics are from 5.30pm with the entertainment starting from 6.30pm. Tickets are £15 or £12 for concessions, available from Beaminster Festival until 30th July, whereby tickets can be purchased directly from Mapperton.com.
