Much Ado About Nothing: Someone Edit Shakespeare (with Nik Walker)

CATEGORY: THOU HADST ME AT GOOD MORROW

We continue our Shakespeare collection of rom-coms with Much Ado About Nothing, the 1993 movie starring Emma Thompson, Kenneth Branagh, Robert Sean Leonard, Denzel Washington, Michael Keaton, Keanu Reeves, and Kate Beckinsale! Chelsea and Elena are joined by Broadway star Nik Walker (Hamilton, Spamalot, Masquerade) to discuss what this movie gets right and wrong about performing Shakespeare, the real life drama when Branagh cheated with Helena Bonham Carter, the film's who's who lineup of 90s stars are not acting in the same movie, who we wish would've been cast as Benedick, and why we think Shakespeare miiiight have needed an editor. Plus we argue over Keaton as Dogberry - a delightful big swing or just another Beetlejuice?
