Cornel Gabara and Irene Alby, faculty in the WVU School of Theatre and Dance, have directed Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Parks first winter show and second digital production “Love’s Labour’s Lost.” Replete with gender-bending and non-traditional casting, the romantic comedy will stream live Feb. 11-15 at 7 p.m.
Transporting audiences to a seaside getaway, the 90-minute adventure introduces a quartet of young men embracing the benefits of a retreat to choose scholarship over the distraction of relationships. When the Princess of France arrives with her entourage, the lords reconsider their oath to book learning and give in to the charms of love.
