This program investigates the nature of comedy by examining Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" and "The Tempest". The presenters discuss the humour, wit and social satire in these plays, and also stress the essential seriousness of great comedy, with its power to advance moral and spiritual values. Aimed at both beginning and more advanced students, the program shows how live performances will affect their interpretations of the plays.
