For our production of Loves Labours Lost I have been cast in the role of Dumaine, a lord at the King of Navarre's court. Alongside Longaville and Berowne (the two other lords), I have sworn an oath of scholarship to the King.With this attempting to withhold from the company women, in a three year bid to study and fast. However the presence of the Princess of France and her lady's, has lead them astray, as they begin to question there loyalty's.
Our adaptation of this play is to be based in a 40's all men's private members club, similar to that of an American fraternity house or Oxford University's Bullingdon Club. An establishment that is not welcoming of women and is strictly for male members only.
Being the youngest of the four, Dumaines age clearly shows. Although handsome and kind natured, he is not the brightest of the bunch, often displaying his immaturity. He is a terribly poor poet, constantly attempting to be romantic, in hope of wooing his love Katharine. Also when given the opportunity, he enjoys having the chance to mock and laugh at the extent of the Nine Worthies and his fellow lord Berowne.
