Much Ado about Nothing at the Folger

Went to see the Folger's production of Much Ado at the Folger last night. A very solid production, with costumes and sets with a post-WWII feel. The soldiers were U.S. pilots, the women Englishwomen, which worked, although the idea that the U.S. general's name was "Don Pedro" was a bit strange, in context. The actress playing Beatrice was excellent, so Benedick was not quite her equal.
