Much Ado About Nothing: Sleepless in Sicily
Will they? Won\u2019t they? In Much Ado About Nothing, Beatrice and Benedick sink their wickedly sharp wits into one another, cutting through sexual tension and the conventions that held back Shakespeare\u2019s earlier comedies. Will and James discuss whether Much Ado is the first truly successful modern rom com and why it continues to resonate with us so much today. // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, \u201cSaltarello\u201d (composed by anonymous); Illustrative Excerpts: \u201cMuch Ado About Nothing,\u201d dir.
