Entertainment: Shakespeare delights audiences in Afghanistan

Afghanistan's first public performance of a Shakespeare play in 25 years played to a packed house this week - even though most of the audience having never seen live theatre before. It was also the first time that many had seen male and female actors acting together.

"Love's Labour's Lost", was performed in Persian in a garden at the Foundation for Culture and Civil Society in central Kabul.
