 ... course this is where much of the comedy lays. The best thing about this play is the comic battling between these two. Upon arriving in Messina, the pair meet and have a battle of words that remains one of my favourite scenes from all drama. Each is stubborn, intelligent and witty, and neither will back down.

Of course it's not all fun and game...more

***** The Production That Changed My Life ***** At the tender age of 16, I was to see a piece of theatre that would change my life and my tastes, and plant in me the seeds of a lifelong love of literature. On a school trip to Stratford-upon-Avon, I was lucky enough to go to a remarkable production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing by the Royal Shakespeare Company. This year marks the twentieth anniversary of that trip, and it seems fitting that the play, and the memories of that incredible production, should be the topic for my “Favourite Things” opinion for Jill. I know that Jill is a bit of a reader (we have Omar ...
