- Summary:
- Students from Brays Grove Community School join forces with MOPA theatre company to perform a fifteen minute version of Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing which features the themes of evil, comedy and love vying for supremacy. The cast of volunteers is selected from a watching audience of Year 9 students. Don John is taken under the wing of Louise Elliott, the actor representing evil; Dogberry and Verges are cajoled into clownish behaviour by Darren McIlroy, the actor representing comedy, and actor Steve Brownlie waxes lyrical about the love interest provided by the antics of Claudio, Hero, Benedict and Beatrice. Only a few words from the actual text are used; students are encouraged to express their reaction to events in their own language.
