Much Ado About Nothing Resources

  We're reading Much Ado About Nothing for two weeks.  When you only meet once a week, you need to discuss big sections at a time with regard to over arching themes and characters.  If we were to meet daily, we would carefully "unpack" each section.  Instead, we read key portions that apply to the themes, characters, plot, and other literary dynamics.

Personally, this is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays.  It's a light-hearted play with delightful characters.  If you read carefully, you'll find yourself frequently chuckling.

Below are some resource for furthering your study of the wonderful play:
SparkNotes -- a study guide that summarizes and analyzes each section
Cliff Notes -- a similar resource
Theater History -- an article that analyzes the play
Utah Shakespeare Festival -- this site has a plethora of scholarly articles that offer some great insights.
Audiobook with LibriVox -- an online version

Happy Reading!
