Much Ado About Nothing, but still about something

I think that the play Much Ado About Nothing was really great and there were a lot of things that made it great, from the actor to the lights. One thing that made the play great was that the actors were acing great. They projected their voices and were sure to articulate, which was necessary because the language of Shakespeare isn't as easy to understand as the English language. Also, the actors not only spoke the words, they felt the words. They also used body language and whether they were talking or not, everyone on stage in a scene was using body language to express what they were doing in that scene. The actors did this in such a way, like if they were speaking through their bodies. Another thing that made the play good was the costumes that the actors wore on stage. It showed the actors personality, in a way. Also, the costumes showed the mood for the scene.

One thing that made the play great was the music. Not only was it beautiful music but it set the mood for the scene whenever it was playing. If the music was deep and dark then you knew it was something bad that was gong to happen. If the music was jazzy or if a record was playing, as it normally was, it showed that the actors were having a fun time together in the scene. Another thing that showed the play was good was  the stage setting and the lighting. When they showed the two people in the moonlight with an crescent moon in the background it showed that it was night time. They also used spotlights to show if there was someone in the back listening in on the conversation so that the audience was also seeing the whole part of the scene and not missing anything.
