This Is Beautiful: Love's Labors Lost

 Ok so this isn't and won't be my favorite Shakespeare play. BUT even though I wasn't in it, Shakespeare in the Arb did this play this summer and I was able to see it multiple times to catch my friends. I then also went back and revisited "Lovely Little Losers" from the Candle Wasters in the hopes of picking up on more stuff from the play. And it worked, I realized a lot of odd things were just direct references to Shakespeare. It's an interesting adaptation since it's the characters from "Much Ado About Nothing"/"Nothing Much To Do" and as a result stuff gets rearranged. But I enjoyed it much more now that I know what it's about!
