"Much Ado About Nothing" Tonight in Black Box Theatre
On Sunday, June 5, students enrolled in McDonogh’s Shakespeare Institute class will perform the comedy, "Much Ado About Nothing." The performance, originally scheduled to take place in the barn at Roots, will take place at 6:00 p.m. in the Osborne Black Box Theatre due to the forecast for rain.
The play, considered
one of Shakespeare’s best comedies, explores the dichotomy between society’s expectation of how humans "should" act in love and how humans "actually" act in love.
The Shakespeare Institute is a two-year elective that begins junior year and provides concentrated study in the fields of Shakespeare and
early modern culture. As a company, students are responsible for, among
other things, casting, cutting the script, costuming (design and concept),
directing, rehearsing, and marketing the play. This year, students have set "Much Ado About Nothing" on the cusp of the fifties and sixties
because of the changing gender relations at the time. The barn and Roots
Farm were chosen for the feel of a summer stock performance.
The performance by the Shakespeare
Institute constitutes the participants’ senior project.
