Much Ado about Nothing (Hudson Valley)

See it if You want to see some very solidly directed Shakespeare in a very beautiful setting.

Don't see it if You dislike very by-the-book interpretations of Shakespeare's works and are only looking for more avant-garde Shakespeare.

Also "Nor sequent centuries could hit Orbit and sum of Shakespeare’s wit.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

In Much Ado, Shakespeare flaunts his wit in perhaps more flagrant manner than in any other of his plays.

HVSF has, year after year, proved itself to be a wonderful organization, from its more traditional Shakespearean endeavors, such as Much Ado, to it's lesser performed gems like Cymbeline.

The cast here is very strong, and the direction is first rate. The costuming is also a delight. This particular production has opted for a WWII era aesthetic to great effect. The period music is also a highlight of the show.

HVSF is a wonderful jewel in the crown of the Hudson Valley and if you have any Shakespearean bone in your body, it's very worth taking the trip to support some wonderful local theatre!... Read more Read less

See it if This production was a lot of fun. It was at an outdoor theater which added to its charm. The actors were terrific.

Don't see it if You really hate Shakespeare.

See it if you would like a pleasant evening in beautiful surroundings

Don't see it if You would regret missing the subtleties in Shakespeare's play

See it if You like to enjoy a summer theatre at a picturesque setting. Love how the actors leveraged the simple staging to interact. Family friendly.

Don't see it if You don’t like rendition of the classic script and of course if you don’t like Shakespeare.

See it if It does play a lot on the cliché of boy meets girl,they don’t like each other,but then they do. If you do like that cliché-comedy,go for it

Don't see it if You don’t like clichés such I really suggest not watching it. Also if the actors don’t execute their roles it does take away from the story.
