El teatro es algo maravilloso, pero detrás hay mucho esfuerzo y muchas cosas que se le escapan al gran público, que sólo asiste a las representaciones sin saber lo que se esconde detrás del telón. Como en la vida misma, en las bambalinas hay muchos problemas, ya que no hay que olvidar que el teatro es algo hecho por personas, y que éstas son imperfectas y tienen sus historias personales, las cuales afectan a la forma en la que trabajan. Esto es lo que pasa en la película, ya que para empezar, la directora es una neurótica, lo que no le ayuda nada a la hora de dirigir a sus actores, y más si la protagonista se enfada con ella mientras que uno de los actores es tan mayor que es incapaz de memorizar sus frases. Pero lo peor es que los desastres no acaban aquí, y el equipo técnico es igual o peor que la directora y los actores. ¿Podrán hacer la obra y presentarla al público?
Much Ado About Nothing is a comedic play by William Shakespeare thought to have been written in 1598 and 1599, as Shakespeare was approaching the middle of his career. The play was included in the First Folio, published in 1623. Much Ado About Nothing is generally considered one of Shakespeare’s best comedies, because it combines elements of robust hilarity with more serious meditations on honor, shame, and court politics. Like As You Like It and Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing, though interspersed with darker concerns, is a joyful comedy that ends with multiple marriages and no deaths. Also known as "Globe on Screen: Much Ado About Nothing".
The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in approximately 1603, and based on the Italian short story Un Capitano Moro ("A Moorish Captain") by Cinthio, a disciple of Boccaccio, first published in 1565. The work revolves around four central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army; his new wife, Desdemona; his lieutenant, Cassio; and his trusted ensign, Iago. Because of its varied and current themes of racism, love, jealousy and betrayal, Othello is still often performed in professional and community theaters alike and has been the basis for numerous operatic, film and literary adaptations.
