| A screwball romantic comedy remains just that, no matter the century. That's the theory behind Love's Labour's Lost, 1930s-style. And music -- well, it has always been the food of love. Story

- Rosaline: Love's Labour's Lost
Rosaline will be played by a performer who made her Broadway debut in a legendary flop that became a musical cult classic.
- 'A festival of language'
Love's Labour's Lost, probably written around 1595, is not one of Shakespeare's towering masterpieces, but critic Harold Bloom thinks the Bard "may have enjoyed a particular and unique zest in composing it. Love's Labour's Lost is a festival of language, an exuberant fireworks display in which Shakespeare seems to seek the limits of his verbal resources, and discovers that there are none."

Only one of you was randomly selected to win the Weekend T-shirt. He was lucky Bill Tierney of Tampa.
