I just watched a performance of this on KZread, done by the BBC in 1975 with Jeremy Brett as Berowne. It was brilliantly directed and I highly recommend it.

It's fantastic.

This is a stellar video. I loved your points, and the sprinkles of trivia were especially interesting as well!

Thank you!

Thanks for your pains, sir! Tis an odd one. But worth study.

Glad I found this video. I watched this play for the first time (Stratford performance in Canada) and can you say WEIRD? I mean on it's face the play is a very simple plot, but there seemed to be extraneous scenes that had nothing to do with the story. The boy playing moth was awesome but he and Armado did these music numbers that aren't in the play and spoke so fast I couldn't follow any of it. And the fake Russians and that Nine Worthies thing I just thought it made no sense at all and was just filler or something. But after seeing this video I'll go back and watch it again (a different production, the Stratford performance was well-done but confusing).

Didn't Kenneth Brannagh do a musical version of this play, interspersed with songs from Cole Porter etc? The novelty of a musical with a book in verse would be rare enough, I imagine. Slán.

Yes, he did, with Alicia Silverstone as the Princess. It had some fun parts, and the music was entertaining.

Why dose Shakespeare write a lot about miscommunication?

It’s an incredibly common human problem and is at the root of so many unfortunate situations.

❤️🤘✌️

Not to mention all that talk about l'envoys and plantains was very confusing.

Are you switching to Rumble?

Hmmm, interesting! I hadn’t put enough thought into it yet, though I can see some reasons for doing so. On the other hand, I’ve put so much work into KZread. I’ll have to do more research.

Cool !

The word is "remuneration" rather than "renumeration".

Why is it that I simply CANNOT get interested in Love's Labor's Lost? I've started it at least half a dozen times and just can't, well, to turn a phrase, pick it up. I have only a couple more of his comedies left to read and then I've read everything that I hadn't previously read, but I just can't get interested in this one. Well, that's not entirely true. I didn't care for Winter's Tale either.

Cause its completely vapid. There's almost no plot at all. It's just dull word play the whole time.

Didn't Shakespeare write this because of the boys saw his plays and then beat him up. I could be wrong.

Sound not good
