Rationale
In the original version of Much Ado About Nothing, the beginning of the scene we chose (Act III, Scene ii) Don Pedro and Claudio are discussing logistics of what will happen after the wedding, when Benedick says that he is ‘…not as he has been…’ It says in the text, that he is dressed in silly looking, mismatching clothes resulting in Leonato, Don Pedro and Claudio teasing him.
In our adaption, we have used pictures of stick figures rather than acting it out. We did this as it allowed us to focus more on the lines and their meaning. We also used a computer to voice Leonato, as its monotonous voice was comedic, and sounded a little bit like an old man.
