Joyce Kulhawik Raves about Lanes Coven on the Culture Show
“Booked and Scene” Review by Kapiolani Kassal HERE
“Stage and Cinema” Review by Lynne Weiss HERE
Love’s Labour’s Lost is a lyrical farce — romantic nobles meet comedic clowns. Like an early version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream — both titles were private commissions that Shakespeare wrote for the aristocratic Southampton family during the English plague 1592-1593. Another opinion says Love’s Labour’s Lost is the prequel to Much Ado About Nothing (subtitled in some versions as “Love’s Labour’s Won.”)

Card to Culture
We are proud to participate in Mass Cultural Council's Card to Culture program in collaboration with the Department of Transitional Assistance, the Department of Public Health's WIC Nutrition Program, the Massachusetts Health Connector, and hundreds of organizations by making cultural programming accessible to those for whom cost is a participation barrier.
EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare cardholders can use the code C2C5 to purchase a $5 ticket to any performance Lanes Coven offers, excluding fundraisers. This is on a first-come-first-serve basis. Tickets may be reserved online. But we cannot guarantee that walk-ins can receive this discount. We encourage online reservations, as our capacity at Hammond Castle is 75 seats, and at Windhover is 125 seats, and we do sell out.
