I saw Much Ado About Nothing this evening. I had no trouble understanding what was going on, although I did have a little trouble keeping track of the minor characters. It was a very good show, with lots of hamming it up by the actors, especially Benedick, who at one point hid in the audience, and at another asked the audience member sitting in front of me for help writing a song and/or poem for Beatrice. The set was mostly flowers. Thousands of them, all around the theatre in the round and around the five entrances. There was also a fire pit that opened up in the floor and a tombstone that rose from the floor.

Now, I get to decide which three of the four remaining plays I want to see, and schedule those.
