Websites
- IMS:William Shakespeare, HarperAudio. This page features audio clips from
"Julius Caesar", "Much Ado About Nothing",
and the Sonnets as read by Sir John Gielgud. The clips from "Much
Ado About Nothing" feature Rex Harrison and Rachel Roberts
in a 1963 production. You'll need the appropriate browser plug-in
software to listen to the clips: I recommend QuickTime
from Apple, as the sound quality is much better; alternately,
if speed is a problem, try using RealAudio,
which uses much more compressed files, but at great expense:
the sound quality is awful.
- A Teacher's Guide ... This is, as you would guess, a teacher's
guide to Much Ado About Nothing: it includes a scene-by-scene
summary of the play, and suggested activities for before, while,
and after reading the play.
- Much Ado About Nothing Picture Page. This page, by Tom Powers, appears on
what is apparently a pretty old site. (He warns that his home
page might take a while to load on Mosaic; does that even exist
anymore?) Anyway, it's got plenty of pictures from the Kenneth
Branagh movie version, captioned with quotes from the movie.
