{"product_id":"much-ado-about-nothing-9780812969177","title":"Much Ado about Nothing","description":"Set in a courtly world of masked revels and dances, this play turns on the archetypal story of a lady falsely accused of unfaithfulness, spurned by her bridegroom, and finally vindicated and reunited with him. Villainy, schemes, and deceits threaten to darken the brilliant humor and sparkling wordplay-but the hilarious counterplot of a warring couple, Beatrice and Benedick, steals the scene as the two are finally tricked into admitting their love for each other in Shakespeare's superb comedy of manners. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach Edition Includes: \u003cbr\u003e- Comprehensive explanatory notes \u003cbr\u003e- Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship \u003cbr\u003e- Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English\u003cbr\u003e- Completely updated, detailed bibliographies and performance histories \u003cbr\u003e- An interpretive essay on film adaptations of the play, along with an extensive filmography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (1564-1616) is today's most widely known and loved playwright.THE ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY (RSC) is a world-renowned ensemble theater company in Stratford and London dedicated to bringing the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries to a modern audience.JONATHAN BATE is a professor of Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature at the University of Warwick.
