The Mercer Museum & Fonthill Castle and the ActorsNET of Bucks County present two nights of a special modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Love’s Labour’s Lost”.

This classic Shakespearean comedy tells the story of a young king and his gentlemen who make a pledge to isolate themselves from the distractions and trivialities of love but find their oaths difficult to keep when a lovely young princess and her ladies arrive for a state visit.  Miscommunication and hilarity ensues as this cascade of adventure gives way to a forest chase, lovers lost and found, and an ending full of hope for true love!

This special production of a comedy written by the most famous playwright in the English language is staged in the spectacular outdoor setting of Fonthill Castle.

This event is rain or shine, except in the case of hazardous weather. Tickets are 100% non-refundable and non-transferable, so please plan accordingly.

Parking available on-site. Enter at Swamp Road (Rt. 313) entrance, between North Street and East Court Street, and follow parking signs.

For preferred seating, the Mercer Museum & Fonthill Castle will provide seating. For lawn seating, you provide your own blanket.
