Theater Review: Commonwealth Shakespeare Company’s “Much Ado” — “A Giddy Thing”

Shakespeare’s text has been streamlined for easy consumption on a summer’s evening — there’s no intermission, lots of physical comedy, and a party vibe.

Theater Review: A Raucous Zoomified “Much Ado” — “Thou Art Muted, Don Pedro”

Hub Theatre’s virtual production of Much Ado About Nothing recognizes Zoom’s potential for farce and leans into it: this is a rollicking delight of a show that refuses to take itself seriously, to everyone’s benefit.

From the first clearly projected lines to the last, it’s obvious that director Julianne Boyd set out to direct a production of Much Ado where language rules supreme.
