Loves Labours Lost, RSC

Friday 21st November 2014


I had an enjoyable night sitting behind a pillar and watching half of Loves Labour's Lost.  Well, it was very cheap, only £14.50 for one of the top theaters. 

 The RSC have paired Loves Labour's Lost with Much Ado About Nothing (which could also be know as Loves Labour's Won), with the same cast in both plays.  Unfortunately, due to late booking (I only booked three months ago), I saw them in the wrong order, but that didn't matter much.  I sat in the stalls, and despite the restricted vision seat, though it was good to be up close and on a level with the actors.
