[Swprograms] BBCWS Play of the Week

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare 

A new adaptation of William Shakespeare`s Much Ado About Nothing is 
broadcast over two weekends from Saturday 3 December. 

The story of two very different sets of lovers: Beatrice and Benedick 
and Claudio and Hero. This is a great Shakespearean comedy with an 
international resonance. 

The main plot revolves around obstacles to the union of young lovers 
Claudio and Hero; the sub-plot is the `merry war` of the sexes between 
Beatrice and Benedick.

Benedick thinks he hates Beatrice but really loves her and Beatrice 
who thinks she hates Benedick, in reality loves him. The witty banter 
between Beatrice and Benedick is the highlight of the play. 

Adapted by Paul Brennen, the production is interspersed with 
interviews with theatre directors and actors who lead the audience 
seamlessly from theme to theme and scene to scene of this uplifting 
piece. Director/David Hitchinson
