"Step into the hazy, sexy world of NAVARRE, London's infamous underground jazz club, for the party of the century. Well known as the best in the city, this is where you go for revelry, hedonism and the silkiest-smoothest jazz in town. However, it's all about to change; King Ferdinand and his dapper dons are planning to embark on a three-year quest of the mind. No more parties, no alcohol and - most importantly - no women to distract. Just books, books and more books... But they seem to have forgotten about AQUITAINE, the neighboring jazz club, and their upcoming visit led by the fierce, unforgiving Princess and her band of provocateurs..."

This is Shakespeare revamped, shook up and ready to party!

Navarre is award-winning director Harriett O'Grady's first independent production, featuring a stellar cast of talented actor-musicians and an incredible creative team (including musical director and actor-musician Burhan Kathawala's first professional MD debut). With bespoke songs, live music and immersive elements, you're guaranteed a wild night at NAVARRE...

Get ready for Shakespeare as you've never seen it before! Adapting the text from 'Love's Labour's Lost' and injecting it with modern vernacular, live jazz musicians, epic love songs and fantastical storytelling, this production will whisk you away to another world - a world full of music, love, lost souls, juicy gossip, mishaps and raps.
You will be welcomed on a journey through the ups and downs and all-arounds of falling in love - fun, frivolous and relevant, this show pulls the text into a timeless era full of energy and music. You can expect eclectic styles, arguments, mistaken identities, a fair bit of swearing, and - of course - a whole lot of love!
