THEATER IS EASY REVIEW
by Regina Robbins (02/20/13)
"BOTTOM LINE: Streamlined Shakespeare with some noteworthy performances, for the folks above 125th Street. What is going on with Much Ado About Nothing this season? There are currently three productions of the Shakespearan comedy running in New York City (also at Theatre for a New Audience and The Secret Theatre). Gregory Couba’s simple, uncluttered modern dress version, playing at the 133rd Street Arts Center in Harlem, might be called “Much Ado 101” — it’s not high-concept and features no TV or movie stars. Staged on an appealing and utilitarian set and played for screwball-type laughs, it’s the Bard for beginners." READ THE ENTIRE REVIEW HERE.
