Shakespeare: Love's Labour's Lost (Royal Shakespeare Company)

Summer 1914. In order to dedicate themselves to a life of study, the King and his friends take an oath to avoid the company of women for three years. No sooner have they made their idealistic pledge than the Princess of France and her ladies-in-waiting arrive, presenting the men with a severe test of their high-minded resolve.
Shakespeare's sparkling comedy delights in championing and then unravelling an unrealistic vow, and mischievously suggesting that the study of the opposite sex is in fact the highest of all academic endeavours.

Love's Labor's Lost---dubbed to be the most "Feminist" of Shakespearean plays--the Princess of France's speech is truly a masterpiece.

Pathetic that you can’t be bothered to list the full cast. Especially the Rosaline, Michelle Terry, who is ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF SHAKESPEARE’S GLOBE. I suppose she’s just not that important to you. And the Boyet, Jamie Newall, who has more lines in the clip than any other actor.
