Abstract: 
William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing presents specific directorial and dramaturgical challenges that are unlike those found in many of his other comedies with their perfectly symmetrical dramatic structures. Could a successful rearrangement and edit of the text minimize these challenges? Further, would a fresh visual production aesthetic more effectively engage a contemporary audience? This thesis will explore the issues inherent in answering those questions.
