One of William Shakespeare’s early comedies, it follows the King of Navarre and his three companions as they attempt to swear off the company of women for three years in order to focus on study and fasting. Their subsequent infatuation with the Princess of France and her ladies makes them forsworn (break their oath). The play draws on themes of masculine love and desire, reckoning and rationalisation, and reality versus fantasy.
