“NEVER DURST A POET TOUCH A PEN TO WRITE/UNTIL HIS INK WAS TEMPERED WITH LOVE'S SIGHS.”
A beloved early comedy by Shakespeare is reimagined for modern audiences. Seeking self-improvement, the King of Navarre and his three best friends swear off sex and love for three years, just as the Princess of France and three other women arrive on a diplomatic mission. Light-hearted drama reaches its climax in the twist ending of this touching and funny coming-of-age story.
