Overview

A young king and his three friends renounce the company of women for three years, in favor of scholarly pursuits. Their pact is immediately jeopardized, however, when the Princess of France and her three companions arrive for an unexpected visit. Will the men stand resolute and keep their monastic vows—or surrender to the beauty and charms of the opposite sex. Shakespeare’s delicious comedy is full of foolish lovers and clowns, disguise, and the follies of love.
