Much Ado About Nothing, a comedy written by William Shakespeare which was first published as a quarto in 1600, probably from the author’s manuscript and was reprinted among the comedies in the Folio of 1023 with slight omissions and a few added stage directions from a promptbook. If the date of compositions given by the literary historian is correct, it could be the first of Shakespeare’s three great romantic comedies of love, the others being As You Like It and Twelfth Night.Much Ado About Nothing is a brilliant play, one of the Shakespeare’s best.
