In 2014, the Royal Shakespeare Company completed a double-feature in which "Love's Labour's Lost", set on the eve of the First World War, is followed by "Much Ado About Nothing" (re-titled "Love's Labour's Won"). Dominic Cavendish of the "Telegraph" called it "the most blissfully entertaining and emotionally involving RSC offering I’ve seen in ages" and remarked that "Parallels between the two works – the sparring wit, the sex-war skirmishes, the shift from showy linguistic evasion to heart-felt earnestness – become persuasively apparent."
