Happy Mother's Day! My early start: Mimosas.
Shakespeare in the Park starts with Much Ado About Nothing.I'm re-reading it and I have begun watching the Globe production. Eve Best and Charles Edwards make a fine pair.
Going deep into Much Ado About Nothing. Nothing and Noting throughout the play, being homophones at the time. No thing, Nothing was a euphemism for vagina back then. My first take is how similar the speeches of Beatrice and Benedict are to the usual jester set-pieces. Jesters in love, speaking truth, wise fools.
