Cringe Am-Dram - a failed experiment

Amusing levels of hubris lead amateurs to direct Shakespeare - often with the most cringe-inducing utterly clueless results. Known widely in the business as am-dram.

And it is the same here!

A group of amateur actors apparently untrained are grifted into a formless oblivious "adaptation".

Somehow butchering the inherent structure of the play, this leaden student experience lumpily plods in the most unfunny, tone-deaf sequence all the way to its miserable termination.

The actors lack any or all charisma, not one joke lands.

The execution is a kind of grotesque - stultifying in its lumpen qualities.

This is a failed student film and in previous generations would have been quietly set aside rather than driven through the embarrassment of release.

Teen romcom with Shakespeare flair

I really love when directors try different interpretations or settings of Shakespeare to make the story relatable and accessible to current audiences, and this is an example of it being done really well. The film really captures the passion, drama and excitement of young love, and the main couples have real chemistry. Even though it was Shakespeare's original dialogue (which I sometimes find hard to follow when not seeing it written down), it was easy to understand what was happening because of the great acting. Definitely added to my roster of Shakespeare retold faves, and excited to see what else the directors have done!

Bubbly, romantic fun

As soon as I saw the opening shot - the boys' rugby team in their minibus - I knew we were in safe hands. Turning Much Ado About Nothing into a teen romcom is a stroke of genius! The young, enthusiastic cast create an atmosphere of fun, romance, friendship, petty squabbles and youthful angst. There's plenty of chemistry between the young leads but mention should also be given to the two older characters, Leonato (Peter Saracen) and Antonio (Toby Wynn Davies), who add gravitas and weight to the proceedings. And kudos too to Balthasar (Joseph Emms) and Friar Francis (Harish Goutam) who add some excellent moments of comedy. A real treat. I look forward to seeing what the Shakespeare Sisters do next.

Super fun to watch

Makes Shakespeare easily understandable and enjoyable! Characters are very relatable and quirky. While staying true to the original story, it's light and fun to watch.

Much A Do

Strong, competent and really entertaining adaptation of a classic! It's a tricky order to deliver a contemporary Shakespeare but the Shakespeare Sisters deliver a youthful and energetic version that helps navigate the story with ease for those new to the work of the Bard.

Considering everything from a relatively new, unnamed cast to a small budget and limited resources, the passion behind the execution and indeed for the original material is plain to see.

Not only does it provide an impressive calling card for the Shakespeare Sisters as a directing duo, it also provides a platform for some impressive emerging acting talent with standout performances.
