Steelpan Shakespeare: 'Much Ado About Nothing'

20091021-muchadoaboutnothing-450.jpg
THIS WEEK: Theaters are constantly trying to think of ways to make Shakespeare new. Sometimes it works, sometimes it's Secret Agent "Richard II."

We're excited for the Folger's Caribbean-themed "Much Ado About Nothing" -- the setting seems like a perfect fit for the cheerful, boisterous comedy. We hope they keep the calypso dance interludes to a minimum though. Shakespeare's long enough as it is.

» Folger Theatre, 201 East Capitol St. SE; through Nov. 29, $30-$60; 202-544-7077. (Capitol South)
