Love's Labor's Lost Performance is Saturday

With sunny skies and temperatures in the high 60s, it looks to be a perfect fall night for Saturday's Shakespeare performance at Crawford Park.

Love's Labor's Lost combines comedy, court intrigue and 16th-century wit for a tale about a king and noblemen who devote themselves to three years of intellectual pursuit and find themselves tempted when a French princess and her ladies-in-waiting arrive at court.

The play was first performed in the English court for Queen Elizabeth in 1597.

Love's Labor's Lost is scheduled for 5 p.m. on Sept. 17, on the lawn in front of Crawford Mansion, at 122 N. Ridge St. in Rye Brook. In the event of bad weather, the play will be moved indoors in the nearby mansion.

The performance will feature professional stage actors from Snorks and Pens Productions, a New York City-based group that specializes in off-Broadway productions.

Visitors are encouraged to bring picnic meals and blankets. For more information, and to make reservations, visit the Friends of Crawford Park online.
