This play is utterly fantastic. It's hilarious, chaotic and the characters are fabulous, both by themselves and in an ensemble. Benedick and Beatrice are especially brilliant with their bickering and the way that they navigate their feelings towards one another throughout the play.

beatrice is a great character considering she hates men and this was written in the 1500s. it’s kinda undermined with the treatment of hero but i can understand that, given it was written so long ago. i can’t tell if i like the writing or not since i don’t usually read plays outside of assigned reading in high school but i found it really witty and fun overall! i hate claudio tho and beatrice + benedick stole the show for me
