Wellesley College Shakespeare Society's Much Ado

[crossposted to bard_in_boston

The Shakespeare Society of Wellesley College has been putting on shows since 1886, and this semester, they chose Much Ado about Nothing. Director Alyssa Kwok chose to set her production in a version of post-WWII Paris, albeit one with (appropriately to the play) more Jazz Age glamor and less post-war rebuilding.

In the spirit of being a critic (what's the point of writing theater criticism if you can't be critical?), let me start with the few -- and minor -- quibbles I have with the production.
( Not much wrong, a lot that's right )

Remaining shows:

Sunday the 15th at 7 p.m.
Thursday the 19th at 7 p.m.
Friday the 20th at 8 p.m.
Saturday the 21st at 8 p.m.
Sunday the 22th at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m

$5 students, $10 general public. At the Shakespeare Society House at Wellesley College

My wife now has library cards for the British Library and the Library of Congress. Given that she gets her superpowers from libraries, this may be dangerous.

For the record, she also has cards for the Minuteman network of Massachusetts libraries, the NOBLE (North of Boston Library Exchange) network of libraries, the Boston Public Library and their associated network, and some university libraries. Unfortunately, our Athanaeum Library membership expired, and we haven't re-upped it.

I wonder if the Vatican Library issues library cards. . . .
