Trivia "Love's Labours Won" is an actual lost William Shakespeare play, the text of which has never been located. Some scholars believe that it is not really lost, but is simply a working title for one of his romantic comedies such as As You Like It, Much Ado About Nothing, or All's Well That Ends Well, all of which have interchangeable titles which don't describe the play's content very well. Or even The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Twelfth Night, or The Taming of the Shrew, which all revolve around exhaustive efforts in pursuit of love. See more »
Goofs Because of poor lighting, among other things, in William Shakespeare's day plays were performed during the day. That was why theaters like The Globe had no roofs, so that the sun could light up the stage. It wasn't until much later that performances became a night-time affair. See more »
