Much Ado about Nothing

Bernard J Taylor’s musical version of “Much Ado” was inspired by Kenneth Branagh’s film. Both are, of course, based on Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” Concept recording features Paul McGann, Claire Moore, Peter Karrie, Barry James, Simon Burke, Janet Mooney, David Pendlebury, and others. The show presents a number of prominent roles for all ages and can be staged with a cast of between 16 and 30. It sticks to the format of Shakespeare’s original work but the dialogue has been trimmed and edited.
