(Philadelphia, October 12, 2009) — The Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts continues its season of Shakespeare with the highly-anticipated return of the world’s leading Shakespeare company, the Globe Theatre of London, in six performances of Love’s Labour’s Lost, October 27 – 31, 2009. After a four-year absence, the Globe Theatre returns to the U.S. to perform “Shakespeare’s largely neglected and most ludicrous comedy,” (Time Out) complete with Renaissance staging, costumes and music. These performances mark only the second time the Globe has performed in Philadelphia, and the first tour under the leadership of Artistic Director Dominic Dromgoole.
The Annenberg Center at the University of Pennsylvania is the second of seven universities that will present the Globe during the 2009 tour and one of only two East Coast theatres presenting the show. Love’s Labour’s Lost is directed by Dominic Dromgoole and features designs by Tony® Award nominee Jonathan Fensom and music by Claire van Kampen. Tickets for the performance are $20-$55. Ticket holders are also invited to attend special pre-show discussions led by University of Pennsylvania faculty. For tickets or for more information, please visit AnnenbergCenter.org or call 215.898.3900. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Annenberg Center Box Office.
