Story
It is a well-established truth that convenient scapegoats will always appear when it is the least convenient. Brimming with high-styled wit and well-tailored jocularity, Wilde’s symphonious comedy of errors is a satisfying delight. Freely adapting Wilde’s play for the audiobook format, BJ Harrison presents a tale that is wildly entertaining while remaining true to the original material.

Story
Love's Labour's Lost is believed to be among Shakespeare's earlier plays and was performed before Queen Elizabeth in 16th-century England. It is a comedy as the King of Narrarre and his three friends (Berowne, Dumaine, and Longaville) take an oath to avoid the company of women for three years. The arrival of the Princess of France and her ladies in waiting quickly disrupts their scheme. The result is a level of confusion common to Shakespearean comedies.
