Based on one of the greater works of the Bard, Much Ado About Nothing has had no shortage of theatrical adaptations with Joss Whedon‘s take serving as the fourth (or fifth if you consider the Hindi adaptation, Dil Chahta Hai). Although they hardly ever demolish at the box office, Shakespearean work is often recycled in...
