Description
Will they? Won’t they? In Much Ado About Nothing, Beatrice and Benedick sink their wickedly sharp wits into one another, cutting through sexual tension and the conventions that held back Shakespeare’s earlier comedies. Will and James discuss whether Much Ado is the first truly successful modern rom com and why it continues to resonate with us so much today. // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, “Saltarello” (composed by anonymous); Illustrative Excerpts: “Much Ado About Nothing,” dir. Kenneth Branagh (1993); “Much Ado About Nothing,” dir. Robert Delamere (2011)
