The cast will comprise Daniel Abbott (The Rat Trap, Park Theatre) as Mozo de Espadas, Suzanne Ahmet (Marvellous, @sohoplace) as Katherine/Nathaniela, Philip Arditti (The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, @sohoplace) as Berowne, Zannie Benfield (professional stage debut) as Marcadé, Ned Costello (The Clothes They Stood Up In, Nottingham Playhouse) as King of Navarre, Andro Crespo (Good Boy, Arts Theatre) as Don Adriano de Armado, Daniel Crossley (The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, West End) as Boyet/Anthony Dull, Jax Guerrero (Twelfth Night, Theatr Clwyd) as Dumaine/Moth, Joshua Hill (High Noon, West End) as Costard, Philip Labey (The BFG, RSC) as Longaville, Jimena Larraguivel (Julius Caesar, RSC) as Jaquenetta, Norah Lopez Holden (Attention, Bush Theatre) as Princess, Bea Segura (The Winter’s Tale, Shakespeare’s Globe) as Rosaline, and Katy Stephens (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Oxford Playhouse) as Maria/Holofernes.

Shakespeare’s rarely staged comedy of love, desire and wit is reimagined in a blazing, flamenco-inspired production, and will feature flamenco dancers Pablo Egea and Anita La Maltesa, and flamenco singer Carlos Lobo Cordón in the production alongside the cast.

Director Indiana Lown-Collins said: “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 creative team also features co-composers Michael McMahon and Adrian Sola, designer Katie Lias, movement director and choreographer Carmen Igarza, voice & text coach Adam Wallis, and casting director Becky Paris CDG.
