Much Ado About Nothing (2012) Teacher Pack

This pack supports the RSC’s 2012 production of Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Iqbal Khan as part of the World Shakespeare Festival, a celebration of Shakespeare as the world’s playwright.

The activities provided are specifically designed to support KS3-4 students studying or seeing
the play, offering a deeper insight into the choices that can be explored through staging. The pack is divided up into 8 distinct sections designed to help you to plan your lessons: About our Education work; About ensemble;
More resources; Introductory notes; Tradition versus modernity; Behind Hero’s public mask; The masquerade party; Hero’s nightmare & The shaming of Hero . There are activities within each section which follow the RSC's active approach to learning about Shakespeare and are driven and guided by our rehearsal room practice. The pack also contains text based resources and key speeches from the play.
