USC students visit the Broad Stage in Santa Monica for the Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre production of the romantic classic.

“Dominic Dromgoole’s zestful production succeeds in captivating the audience to a degree that I would not have thought possible ... . It’s a treat.” — The Independent

Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre Company, direct from London, will perform Love’s Labour’s Lost. Shakespeare’s celebration of young love is a festive parade of every weapon in the youthful playwright’s comic arsenal — from excruciating cross-purposes to silly impersonations, drunkenness, bust-ups and pratfalls. It’s also his most joyful banquet of language, groaning with puns, rhymes, bizarre syntax, grotesque coinages and parody.

This trip is for current USC students only. You must use the provided transportation to participate. Space is limited, and advance registration is required. RSVP beginning Tuesday, October 27, at 9 a.m. Check-in for the event will begin at 5 p.m. on campus. Buses will depart at 5:45 p.m. and will return to campus at 11 p.m.

Dinner will be provided.
