Much Ado About Nothing Directed by Christian Amato The Theater Project Feb. 14 - March 1, 2014 The Players Theater, NY
It may be winter in Manhattan, but it looks like a long hot summer for Beatrice, Benedict, Hero, Claudio, and the gang. So hot that feral cats are a’scampering over the hot tin roofs of Sicily’s port city of Messina, the setting for Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. New York theater has been awash with Bardish productions everywhere. You can take your pick: traditional, modern dress, deconstructions, etc. Among so many offerings, I highly recommend you sashay on down to the li’l ol’ Players Theater and take a gander at their Much Ado About Nothing, rendered beautifully and hilariously in smoldering tempestuous Southern Style.
Director Christian Amato’s Messina is the modern South, and I found it endlessly fascinating to hear Shakespeare’s dialogue spoken in varying intensities of the southern drawl.
