About this listen
Two couples—Benedick and Beatrice, and Hero and Claudio—must overcome deception, gossip, and, occasionally, their own misplaced pride if their love is to persevere. Aided by military commander Don Pedro and impeded by his brother Don John, the friends go to great lengths in the pursuit of marriage.
It's very servicable. Full text, good music but rather lacking in charecterisation, lightness and charm.
The BBC version and this sit well side-by-side, the BBC one is quite abridged and tidied up but otherwise superb- a good introduction.
This one gives you all of Shakespeare, a useful 'document'- but might be dull and offputting if this was your first experience of the play.
There is one one funny moment- Beatrice is railing on and Benedick is doing some impromptu interjecting and squeaks 'well- I mean-' in a rather unshakespearian tone- I'm afraid that's as close as this production gets to naturalism.
full and worthy
