«Much Ado About Nothing» is the theatrical comedy by William Shakespeare, published by Penguin Books Ltd in paperback (128 pages, in English).
Two love stories run in parallel in Messina: the immediate romance of Hero and Claudio and the relationship of Beatrice and Benedick, made of witty repartee and mutual denial. The machinations of the villain Don John and a series of misunderstandings test the trust and honour of the characters, until reaching a happy ending.
It belongs to the Penguin Popular Classics collection; this paperback edition was published in 1997.
Suitable for readers of classical theatre, as well as for school or university reading.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
