Love's Labour's Lost (1594-95) by William Shakespeare
12/01/18 • 44 min
S1E8 Love's Labour's Lost is a comedy full of buffoons, braggarts and would-be boffins. But why the non-traditional ending? What is a flap-dragon? And is it, as J.A. Herand called it, "exclusively a play on words"? (It does indeed contain the longest word in Shakespeare - say it three times fast: honorificabilitudinitatibus.)
Music: "Not Drunk" by The Joy Drops
