"Love's Labour's Won, alternatively written Love's labour's wonne, is the name of a play written by William Shakespeare before 1598. However, it is not known if this play has been lost, or if the title is an alternate name for a known play." "- Theories Many scholars now believe that Love's Labour's Won may have been a lost sequel to Love's Labour's Lost, depicting the further adventures of The King of Navarre, Berowne, Longville, and Dumaine, whose marriages were delayed at the end of Love's Labour's Lost. The other possibility is that it is an alternative title for another Shakespearean comedy not listed by Meres or Hunt. Much Ado About Nothing, commonly believed to be written around 1598, is often suggested. All's Well That Ends Well has also been suggested. For example, Henry Woudhuysen's Arden edition of Love's Labour's Lost points out a number of striking similarities between the two plays. However, All's Well is normally dated after 1600, and hence after Meres wrote his list. - Modern version In Autumn 2005, a play by Dorothy Louise titled Love's Labour's Wonne debuted at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, PA. It is based on the following premise: "At the end of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost, news of the death of the Princess's father halts four couples on the road to matrimony. Everything stops, including the entertainment prepared for the festivities, as the Princess prepares to return home. The couples agree to meet again in a year and a day and disperse to a song of spring and winter. The play implies a sequel, and apparently there was one, of which only the title, Love's Labour's Wonne, has survived — at least, so far." There is also a play of the title Love Labours Won by Ryan J-W Smith. It premiered at the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and transferred to London's West End shortly after. However, it is not related in any way to Love's Labour's Lost. - Popular culture The play is featured in "The Shakespeare Code", an episode of the science fiction drama Doctor Who first broadcast on 7 April 2007. It also features in the novels Love Lies Bleeding by Edmund Crispin and Ruled Britannia by Harry Turtledove." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love's_Labour's_Won
