Director Indiana Lown-Collins says: “I'm thrilled to be collaborating with such an extraordinary cast and creative team to bring this impassioned story to life. This production brings together the rhythm and humanity of both Shakespeare and Flamenco, and to explore where those artistic languages meet within the unique space of the Wooden ‘O', with this beautiful company, feels incredibly special.”

Love's Labour's Lost's Associate Director is Nell Bailey, Michael McMahon and Adrian Sola are the co-Composers, Katie Lias is Designer, Carmen Igarza is Movement Director and Choreographer, with Voice & Text by Adam Wallis.
