Much to do about nothing review and thoughts

I recently saw the play much to do about nothing with my class 810. One thing I really liked about the Shakespearian play is that the stage was small and close. it was like I (and the audience) were just spying on the lives of the people in the play. I felt really connected to the play and the characters. Plus you really got to see the facial expressions of the actors and it was really good.

I also noticed that the setting in the play was different then I original because in Shakespeare it usually takes place way back but in this play it took place in the 20's. You could tell by the music, the costumes, props, and dances. I also think the story line of the play was in a way really confusing. At some parts I was literary lost and found myself asking a lot of questions about what was happening in the play. But i did get the overall sense of the story, partly because the two guys came into our class and told a us a little about what the play was about, before we went to see it.

Overall I think this was a good decent play that was funny at some parts and confusing at others. But I would like to see it again to get a better understanding of it.
