About the Play:
Set in a courtly world of masked revels and dances, the play Much
Ado About Nothing turns on the archetypal story if a lady falsely
accused of unfaithfulness, spurned by her bridegroom, and finally
vindicated and reunited with him. Villainy, schemes, and deceit
threatens 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.
Part of the New Penguin Shakespeare series, this book offers a
complete edition of Much Ado About Nothing. It has been
prepared from the original texts and is accompanied by an
introduction, a list of further reading, a full commentary, and a
short account of the textual problems of the play.
