OLLI-LITR-6144 - Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing: What's It All About?

Course Description

Whether you're someone who's wondering what all the fuss is about or a long-time Shakespeare fan, you'll enjoy this interactive approach to " Much Ado About Nothing," considered one of Shakespeare’s best comedies. Since Shakespeare wrote plays to be seen and heard, but not necessarily read, the instructor uses an approach that reads the entire play aloud, using class participants to read various roles in a scene (and, no, you don't have to read if you prefer not to). Along the way the instructor will lead discussions on themes, language, character, and staging. Instructor will provide a reader's guide. Required text: any copy of “Much Ado About Nothing”, except for a ‘translated version.
