This Advanced Drama Studies class took a real risk when they chose to perform Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. This fast-paced comedy is filled with witty and demanding dialogue, but students were up to the challenge.
Reflecting on the themes presented in the play, Director Corbett Burick shares, “Throughout this story, characters discover and overhear information about others, believe what they hear, and make assumptions that cause things to devolve—it happens over and over. This comedy reminds us that the words we say have power. The things that we say, the rumors we spread about others have serious consequences.”
