Much Ado About Nothing

Adapted by Joss Whedon.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this. Among other things, I have to ask, does Joss understand the difference between the comedies and the tragedies? (Hint: fewer deaths, more happy marriages.)

Interestingly, writing this comment prompted me to go and tally how many Shakespeare plays I have/haven't seen. And I've only seen half the comedies (8/16), compared to 8/10 histories and 7/12 tragedies.

(For simplicity I've left the tragicomedies and problem in the broader categories. But for what it's worth they make a third of the ones I'm missing, having seen only A Winter's Tale and The Tempest aside. The former was a brilliant performance of what I expect to be a substandard play, the latter was a substandard performance of what I suspect to be a decent play.)
