Much I do about nothing *

This was our second foray to Emerson Stage to see "Much I do about nothing" play and considering the overwhelming success of "Little Women" we were both really looking forward to this play. As usual, I explained this classic Shakespeare’s comedic play of love, misunderstanding and obstacles.

However, to my surprise and disappointment, Emerson College modernized the play by placing in in the middle of 1960, with main characters as sports jocks! There were too much of constant movement of scene decorations that left you dizzy, and while the furniture was moved, two hippie characters proclaimed strange, monologues about growing feminist and civil rights movement. Talk about confusing!!!

Gwyneth insisted on sitting through the entire play, just to make sure that Claudio and Hero would get together, but later admitted that musicals are better than some famous Shakespearean play.
