They’ve just wrapped their first of three weekends, so before it’s too late, let’s hear from the cast of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, which is being presented over the next two weekends by ARTS at the Renaissance Theatre at 900 8th Street in Huntington.
To kick things off, let’s hear from my pal, the amazingly talented Frederick Walker:
Q: What is "Much Ado" all about?
Frederick: Much Ado About Nothing is a comedy and a tragedy rolled into one. A couple in love despite their pretense of disdain for each other. Another whose true love is thwarted (is it?) by a lie told by a villain!
Q: What part do you play, and why did you want to be part of this show?
Frederick: I play the part of the sexton, a small part befitting one who is in only his second play. I wanted to be in this show to experience the other wonderful cast and learn from them. It has been a wonderful ride.
Q: Tell us about the cast and/or directors you’re working with.
Frederick: The cast has been very supportive and as each brings different talents, each is willing to share and teach. The Director (Mike Murdock) is great to work with because, even though he knows his is the final word, he is always willing to listen to suggestions and create a fantastic show from the "pool" of talent.
Q: Why would you urge our readers to see this play?
Q: Why would you urge our readers to see this play?
Frederick: I invite everyone who loves to laugh and/or cry to come to this show. I urge anyone not familiar with the play to read a two paragraph synopsis prior to the show, as the show jumps right into the action and foreknowledge of the main characters will prevent the many nuances of a William Shakespeare play from passing you by!
Thanks, Frederick!
