MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

     „Even though the text apparently is one of Shakespeare’s most optimistic comedies, supported by all necessary ingredients – costume ball generating confusions among characters, spectacular overturns, happy end etc. – and debating “the unbearable lightness of being”, under the tonic surface there is a much more serious underground, two layers of themes echoing towards today: that of mafia-like rapport in the political sphere and the obvious subordination of women. The performance also relies on questioning the sense of the theatre, an art that, more than ever, has been on a quest for legitimacy.”
