I've been thinking about how theater companies can experiment with Shakespeare without messing up the classics 
. Marti Lyons' take on "The Taming of the Shrew" sounds like it went all in, but it didn't quite land for me 
. It's like they wanted to make a point, but lost sight of the story in the process.
Selina Cadell's approach to "Much Ado About Nothing", on the other hand, feels so much more nuanced
. She didn't try to reinvent the play, just let the beauty of Shakespeare shine through. And that lighting setting? Wow! It transported me to a different time and place 
. Maybe it's because I'm all about the details 
, but Cadell's attention to texture and tone is impressive.

it looks like a real-life sicily and I wish we could see it in person. but i gotta agree with the reviewer that marti lyons' taming of the shrew was kinda confusing even our teacher struggled to keep up with it 
at least they tried though, right? and can we talk about mark bedard's performance as benedick tho? he's like my ultimate benedick
