The Royal Shakespeare Company production of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Won (or Much Ado About Nothing) ran earlier this year at the RSC’s home in Stratford-upon-Avon in repertory with Love's Labour’s Lost. Love's Labour's Lost began cinema screenings across the U.S. March 2 and will be joined soon by Love's Labour's Won, set to receive U.S. screenings beginning April 2.
