The hilariously refreshing production of “Much Ado About Nothing” by commshakes is showing on Boston Common now through Aug. 7:
Life is easier with love. At least that’s the hope.
Hero is shamed by her love, Claudio on their wedding day during a performance of Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's "Much Ado About Nothing." That shows up as fabulously bright garb, roles typically played by men are played by women, and all the fluorescent tulle and tutu’s from the decade—the work of costume designer Kathleen Doyle—that one could imagine. It’s contemporary and resonant without feeling over the top or cheesy. The cast, full of local stalwarts, performs the centuries-old Shakespearean English in a way that seems natural and because of this, at least in part, there are many refulgent moments.
Robles’ powerfully portrayed Claudio, Leonato and Don Pedro have a perfectly choreographed contemplation scene where the eavesdropping Benedick learns some interesting information, there’s a very funny karaoke scene and later, a member of the neighborhood watchmen plays Salt-N-Pepa’s 1986 hit “Push It” on what sounded like a kazoo.
