I've seen Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing many times and in preparation to enjoy @ReduxionTheatre 's performance in a few weeks I thought I might tweet some laymen's thoughts and observations. It's possible to enjoy Shakespeare the same way u see a movie but I have found that some preparation takes it to a different level. 1st, becoming familiar with the plot is crucial. This helps break the language barrier between you and the old English. (It's not like Chaucer old, its more like King James old).
Plot summaries for all of Shakespeare's plays are available online, find one, read it, enjoy.
More hints on the morrow!
