THE FILM
Love's Labour's Won (2015) | Not Rated | 148 m
(Also known as Much Ado About Nothing) 
Autumn 1918. A group of soldiers return from the trenches. The world-weary Benedick and his friend Claudio find themselves reacquainted with Beatrice and Hero. Set amidst the brittle high spirits of a post-war house party, where youthful passions run riot, lovers are deceived and happiness is threatened – before peace ultimately wins out.
 The Royal Shakespeare Company's performance is perfect for the whole family.
