OPS Fest: Love’s Labour’s Lost
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Forgetting the French Princess is arriving soon, King Ferdinand and his friends swear off women. The courtiers are smitten. Letters are sent and confused. Berowne reasons ways out of the oath. The French court departs but will return in one year to marry the King and courtiers… if they prove worthy.
OPS Fest brings no-cost repertory Shakespeare to parks and venues throughout the Portland Metro area. The company uses the original practice techniques of Elizabethan England: limited rehearsal, scrolls in hand, audience interaction, and an onstage prompter. In Shakespeare's Era, the audience knew the actors had not rehearsed and that the only context each had of the play was their own role on a scroll. The play was as fresh to the actors as the audience.
