Here are some resources to help guide your way into Much Ado About Nothing:
- Resources, character map, and infographic from Course Hero.
- See a synopsis of the play from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust or Overly Sarcastic Productions.
- In many areas, the recent Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing, starring Danielle Brooks, is available on PBS.
- A full production, from the Texas Shakespeare Festival, is on YouTube.
- A modern BBC re-imagining of Much Ado, from 2005, is available on YouTube. (Note: it’s based on Shakespeare’s story, but does not feature his words.)
- The Show Must Go Online performed the play just last week.
- Too odd not to include: a 1940 Dinky Duck cartoon entitled “Much Ado About Nothing.”
Thanks for Dan Hainsworth for letting us use his Shakespeare icons, as shown above right.
