Much to do About Nothing

                        Dear Friend,

            I really encourage you to go see the Shakespeare play Much to do About Nothing. It is highly entertaining and humorous, especially at the theater we saw it at. This play is about a girl and a guy who are in love, but all they do is pick on each other. They must be tricked into realizing their love. Along with this, the girl’s cousin falls in love with a guy. The guys friend’s evil brother tries to break them up, so she fakes a death, and then comes back to life, and they marry. This is one of the few Shakespeare plays were no one actually dies or gets hurt. This was a nice change from the normal moody, gloomy stuff that is usually incorporated in his plays.

           When I was watching the play I was amazed at how un confusing and clear a Shakespeare play could actually be. Of course the workshop I took before were I learned the plot of the story helped, but the main thing that really allowed me to understand this play was the acting. The actors, The actors did a great job of portraying their characters, and while watching it was almost always clear what was happening and going on, something that continuous to confuse me in Romeo and Juliet.

           

            I have to say if given the choice, I would rather read this, than Romeo and Juliet. This is because this play happens to be more entertaining and humorous. However Romeo and Juliet supposedly have all this hummer in it, but just reading it, it is very hard to find. Maybe if I were to watch a play of Romeo and Juliet I would think differently because the acting would help me to better understand it.

            In conclusion I highly recommend you go see this. It is very entertaining, amusing, and kept me attached through the whole thing. If given the choice I would definitely go see it, and even read it over Romeo and Juliet. I had an excellent time watching it, and think that the directors and actors were all amazing. The workshop also sincerely helped me to understand what were going on and the plot, even though it was a little confusing, it was still very clear.

                        You should definitely go see this,

                        Sincerely,

                        Becca
