About this show
Facing redundancy after years of lacklustre publications, lecturers Jackie and Kate hatch an audacious plan to save their skins – they announce the discovery of Shakespeare’s long-lost play. What begins as a harmless white lie quickly spirals out of control when they’re invited to perform the “new” work at the 45th Shakespearean History International Teaching Conference the next day. With no script, no knowledge and barely any time, they scramble to invent a masterpiece overnight. As their manager’s suspicion grows, their desperate improvisation becomes a farcical web of deception, threatening humiliation and friendship.

I would highly recommend seeing Newcastle University Theatre Society’s Love’s Labour’s Found for hysterical writing, flawless performances, and an exhilarating hour of farce.
