Much Ado About Nothing (Theatre)	comment	As the play is Older Than Steam and most twists in Shakespeare's plots are now widely known, all spoilers on this page are unmarked.A forerunner to the Romantic Comedy genre by William Shakespeare, the plot of Much Ado About Nothing centers on two couples: Hero and Claudio, whom the villain Don John spends the play trying to drive apart, and Beatrice and Benedick, whom most of the other characters spend the play trying to bring together.Like all of Shakespeare's plays, it is much-adapted. Some of those adaptations include: Beatrice and Benedict, an opera by Hector Berlioz. A 1993 film directed by Kenneth Branagh, featuring Branagh as Benedict, Emma Thompson as Beatrice, and an All-Star Cast that included Denzel Washington, Keanu Reeves, Michael Keaton, and Kate Beckinsale. In 2011, Digital Theatre produced a filmed stage version starring former Doctor Who cast-mates David Tennant and Catherine Tate as Benedick and Beatrice. Also in 2011, on vacation from filming The Avengers (2012), Joss Whedon shot a shoestring-budget adaptation of his own in his house, which premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival and was released in June of 2013 to much critical praise. A Setting Update Vlog on Youtube entitled Nothing Much To Do, which puts the characters in a New Zealand High School. A 2019 Shakespeare in the Park performance featured on PBS' Great Performances, set in the present day with an all-black cast (and the "war" they're returning from being a protest for racial justice). Anyone but You, a 2023 Setting Update starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell.Benedick is the source of the word "benedict," for a man who marries after a long bachelorhood.

First Claudio, Don Pedro, and Leonato stage a conversation about how Beatrice is in love with Benedick while Benedick is eavesdropping, then Hero and her maidservants do the same thing to Beatrice. In each case, the eavesdropper is convinced that if the other is in love with them then they should requite the love.

However, some versions will give a small rewrite, changing Leonato's brother Antonio into his wife Imogen. Without altering much of the play, this change actually works surprisingly well.

This is ironic in Benedick's case, at the beginning of the play he was a self-professed He-Man Woman Hater. Also, Friar Francis only appears briefly, but when he's on stage he's the most reasonable person there. Additionally, Antonio and and handmaidens often stay behind with Hero, possibly not believing it either, or at the very least, still caring for Hero regardless.

Much Ado About Nothing (Theatre) / int_26eb6287	comment	Funny Background Event: The Tennant/Tate version turns the Zany Scheme to get Beatrice and Benedick to realize their affection for each other up to eleven. As the conspirators loudly state how sick with love the Slap-Slap-Kiss couple are for each other, Benedick and Beatrice go through a hilarious Humiliation Conga right behind their backs. To wit: Benedick: While dancing mockingly to "Sigh No More", he trips into the supply cart and plants his right hand into white paint. He tries to wipe it off unsuccessfully. Upon hearing Beatrice is in love with him, he knocks a paint tray over with a thunderous CLANG. Claudio's "recounting" of Beatrice's outpouring of love for him causes Benedick to wipe a hand down his face, getting white paint all over it and his shirtfront. He tries to take a drink from his can, only to spray it out (because Claudio and Don Pedro had discarded their cigarettes in it when they found it earlier). While he's reeling from the "news", the boy he had enlisted earlier to get him a book finds him, and chases him down to give him said book. Benedick even attempts to hide his face by holding up a piece of cloth while running at full tilt! There's another CLANG, the boy walks away without the book, and Benedick emerges from the background with white paint splattered all over him. Beatrice: Matching Benedick, she kicks over two paint cans with a CLANG when she first hears about his affection. She then tries to hide under a piece of cloth that "magically" scuttles across the stage, fooling exactly no one. Ursula and Hero enlists one of the painters to hook their pulley system to Beatrice's belt, dragging her up and down and all over again while the Blatant Lies are going on in the foreground. Beatrice spends a few minutes struggling with the cloth, and finally gets it off her as she's aloft. She vainly tries to keep her balance, at points making hilarious swimming motions. Her furious expressions as she reacts to the banter takes the cake.

Much Ado About Nothing (Theatre) / int_3eb0f889	comment	Pun-Based Title: Believe it or not, among the many possible meanings of the word "nothing" in Shakespeare's day, the word was sometimes a reference to female genitalia ("an o thing", and also in reference to women not having anything between their legs). Making this seemingly harmless title possibly an, erm, quite colorful one, to say the least. "Nothing/Noting" can also refer to music (songs play a decently large part, and the play ends by striking up the pipers), eavesdropping (the heart of both the matchmaking plot and the evil plot), actual physical notes (the play opens with a letter, and right at the end Benedick and Beatrice are shown their own love letters to stop their playful bickering), and noticing or understanding (which the Friar, Benedick, and Beatrice are good at, thank God). It is also important to note that, according to the script, the audience never sees the pivot point in the play: the observation of Borachio and Margaret (dressed as Hero) that leads to the accusations of adultery. It happens right in the middle and everything else grows from it, but it is not actually shown. So the play literally revolves around nothing. Basically, the title contains a Hurricane of Puns in one word.

Much Ado About Nothing (Theatre) / int_4655ec83	comment	Important Haircut: After they convince Benedick that Beatrice is in love with him, Don Pedro and Claudio run into Benedick and notice that he has shaved. They start teasing him about his sudden clean-shaven appearance, seeing this as proof that their ploy to get him to fall for Beatrice has worked. Not used in many productions, but used to great effect in the Joss Whedon film version. This may also be combined with Beatrice's earlier jabs about not liking men with beards or clean-shaven men, perhaps having Benedick shave his beard into a mustache in a clever nod to that earlier scene (he doesn't have a beard anymore, but neither is he clean shaven!). In the original production, as Shakespeare's company would almost never perform the same play two days in a row, the actor playing Benedick would probably just not shave for the week if he knew he'd be playing the part later that week, and then quickly shave backstage between the two scenes. For obvious reasons, this approach is not in common practice any more. The 2017 Globe production uses this, but the actor only grows a mustache, and the beard is done with makeup. It's not very convincing from up close, but it serves its purpose, and makes for a brilliant scene during which Benedick is teased for shaving and wearing a scent.

Much Ado About Nothing (Theatre) / int_48b9731f	comment	Paper-Thin Disguise: Subverted in the masked ball. Few of the masked gentlemen actually succeed in disguising themselves. Hero knows that the gentleman speaking to her is either Claudio or Pedro pretending to be him (having been informed by her father that Claudio intends to court her). Ursula instantly sees through Antonio's disguise because of his mannerisms, and Don John pretends to take Claudio for Benedick, Borachio having recognized Claudio by his stance. Only Benedick's disguise can be taken as successful and he hears more insults from Beatrice for his success. (And since what she says "about" Benedick is no different than how she speaks to him unmasked, it's still subject to actor interpretation.)

Dogberry and his crew are based on the amateur police forces of the time, which were made up of untrained citizens who were each assigned a certain number of nights a year to "protect the public peace" and were often ineffectual. Dogberry's instruction to his watchmen boils down to "bid them good night and leave them be" for any possible scenario. However, his constables do catch Borachio and Conrade red-handed and thus manage to—eventually—save the day.

Much Ado About Nothing (Theatre) / int_8cb1a369	comment	Took a Level in Jerkass: Claudio goes from a sweet, naive Nice Guy to an abusive fiancÃ© after he believes Hero has cheated on him, giving her no opportunity to defend herself. Again, in all fairness he thinks he's seen her cheating with his own eyes. And frankly he's not all that bright anyway. To his credit, when he's proven wrong, he loses his douche attitude and does what he can to make things right. After behaving in a kind, giving, and cordial manner throughout the play, this then applies to Don Pedro to a lesser extent, as he mostly remains silent at the wedding, but backs up Claudio when called out on this. However, his behavior is far less abhorrent, being more of a bystander. And like Claudio, he truly thinks he saw the crime and makes sure that his friend follows through with righting his wrong when it's clear they're wrong. Leonato also goes from being a pleasant man who loves his daughter to saying she deserves death, and in some versions, ''striking her'' after being told she's a whore. Again, this is due to misinformation, and to his credit, he doesn't turn against her until his dear friend and the man who rules over him backs up what Claudio's saying by declaring they saw it happen. But to be fair, while his attitude is brutal, he's just hearing this news and doesn't have the same amount of time to process as the others, and not long after he's heard reason, he directs his anger towards the men who ruined his daughter instead. Though even then this trope is still somewhat in action, as Leonato comes across as a bit of a Hypocrite for his highly confrontational demeanor there, even if he's now back on the side of good.

Also noteworthy is that Beatrice's first line involves asking after Benedick's wellbeing under the pretense of mocking his military service. When Don Pedro asks Leonato if Hero is his daughter, he answers, "Her mother hath many times told me so.", prompting Benedick to ask "Were you in doubt, sir, that you asked her?" The theme of infidelity comes back to bite everyone later on when Don John slanders Hero and convinces Claudio that she has cheated on him.

Again, this is due to misinformation, and to his credit, he doesn't turn against her until his dear friend and the man who rules over him backs up what Claudio's saying by declaring they saw it happen. But to be fair, while his attitude is brutal, he's just hearing this news and doesn't have the same amount of time to process as the others, and not long after he's heard reason, he directs his anger towards the men who ruined his daughter instead. Though even then this trope is still somewhat in action, as Leonato comes across as a bit of a Hypocrite for his highly confrontational demeanor there, even if he's now back on the side of good.

Unusually, this plot twist lasts only one scene, until the next time Claudio sees the Prince â€” and the Prince assures him that he did, indeed, woo Hero on Claudio's behalf. (In fact, since the plan got back to Leonato and he told Hero about it, it's likely that she knew all along that (a) she was really talking to the Prince, and (b) he was pretending to be Claudio as a favour.)

It is worth noting though, that almost every production depicts John as Obviously Evil, even when he pretends to be a good guy. And it's possible that he's only just starting to lie during his villainy. Right before the play starts he was in direct conflict with his brother Pedro, and the first time he's shown attempting to cause drama through deceit, any harm that the lie causes is undone later in the same scene when it's proven false. This poor attempt could imply that he's just starting out, which is backed up by his henchman Borachio being the one to come up with a far more successful trick on Claudio and Pedro.

Could easily be chalked up to brotherly love. Pedro is a very Nice Guy and likely wants to successfully bury the hatchet with his half brother. This pops up again later on when he believes John's lie that Hero has cheated on Claudio, though to be fair, while his better judgement should take over there, he believe he's seen the affair with his own eyes. Claudio has this problem as well, even more so than Don Pedro. Claudio was personally responsible for defeating Don John, but doesn't question his former foe's interest in his love life and believes both of Don John's lies about Hero being wooed by other men. In the first case, Benedick is also under the impression that Pedro has "stolen" Hero and says so, but after it's proven that Don John has lied once, you'd think Claudio would be skeptical about the scene Don John shows him.
