Jullliard' 3rd Year Rep. Love's Labour's Lost-Lots of Laughter

Julliard students' Shakespeare's Repertory for spring '2015 includes "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Love's Labour's Lost."  I saw the later with a production geared for laughter.  There is an exuberance and energy that the students bring to Shakespeare's romantic comedies and a contemporary  aesthetic.  I commend the clean & clever 4 level set design and staging.  And, Shakespeare's language rang eloquently from the cast but the modern high jinks hijacks the play.  I prefer Julliard's drama  performances of 20th & 21st C plays.  The student's Shakespeare plays are labors of love but are lost on me.
