Nothing Much to Do: the perfect Shakespeare webseries

Every year for the last three years, I have been lucky enough to see a production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. Considering it was my first Shakespeare and still a hot favourite this has been something of a dream run for me, but when it eventually runs dry I take great comfort in the fact that my favourite adaptation will always be right there on YouTube. Not Kenneth Branagh’s, not even David Tennant and Catherine Tate’s, though both are excellent. I’m talking about Nothing Much To Do, the 2014 web series by Kiwi creators The Candle Wasters that sees Shakespearean drama transplanted into an Auckland highschool with almost frightening accuracy.
