Country Love for the Bard

Love, food, frivolity … who hasn’t sworn off a vice or two only to find temptation at every turn? Just ask the King of Navarre and his oath-bound cohorts, whose celibacy and studiousness will be put to the test every weekend in June as part of Shakespeare in the Arb’s twenty-fourth season. A staple of the summer calendar, SITA brings the bard’s early comedic gem, Love’s Labor’s Lost, to Nichols Arboretum, continuing a quarter-century tradition of outdoor theater in one of the area’s most bucolic natural spaces.
