This edition of Much Ado About Nothing, one of Shakespeare's most delightful and theatrically successful comedies, offers, along with a freshly edited text, an exceptionally helpful and critically aware Introduction and commentary. Paying particular attention in his Introduction to analysis of the play's minor characters, Sheldon P. Zitner discusses Shakespeare's social transformation of his source material, rethinking the attitudes to gender relations that underlie the comedy and determine its ruefully optimistic view of marriage. Interpretations are advanced less because they are arguable than because they are actable. Allowing for the play's openness to re-interpretation by successive generations of readers and performers, the editor provides a socially analytic stage history. Full notes and commentary continue previous editors' work of clarifying textual and performance problems of interest to both readers and actors.

THESEUS Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour Draws on apace : four happy days bring in Another moon ; but O, methinks how slow This old moon wanes ! She lingers my desires, Like to a step-dame, or a dowager, Long withering out a young man's revenue. HIPPOLYTA Four days will quickly steep themselves in night: Four nights will quickly dream away the time : And then the moon, like to a sliver bow New-bent in heaven, shall behold the night Of our solemnities... THESEE Et maintenant, belle Hippolyta, voici notre heure nuptiale qui approche à grands pas. Dans quatre heureux jours apparaîtra la nouvelle lune. Elle étire mes désirs ainsi qu'une marâtre ou une douairière qui laisse se dessécher le revenu d'un jeune homme. HIPPOLYTA Quatre jours s'évanouiront vite dans la nuit ; quatre nuits se dissiperont vite dans le rêve ! Alors la lune, comme un arc d'argent qui vient de s'incurver dans le ciel, contemplera la nuit de notre union solennelle. THESEE Va, Philostrate, entraîne aux réjouissances la jeunesse d'Athènes ; éveille l'esprit de la gaîté, agile et bondissant ; renvoie aux funérailles la mélancolie : cette pâle commère ne sied pas à nos festivités... Traduction de Jules Supervielle et Jean-Louis Supervielle.
