Much adoo about Nothing (facs. 1st Folio 1623)
Charles I famously crossed the title Much Ado About Nothing off his copy of the play and replaced it with “Beatrice and Benedick.” But entertaining and moving as these two bantering lovers are, it is the dangerous, near-tragic accusations that Claudio makes against Hero’s chastity that drive the action of the plot. This is a facsimile edition of the play from the First Folio edition of 1623.
