Motion 58 has tons of good news coming over the next several weeks but before that happens you need to see co-founder Josh Epstein in one of Bard on the Beach's biggest hits ever: Love's Labour's Lost. It's about to sell-out it's entire run.

'Josh Epstein’s Berowne is the play’s most eloquent advocate for the wisdom imparted by experience; his feelings are always convincing, and he sings with a voice like butterscotch.' The Georgia Straight
