MUCH ADO 8: This Is Madness

Sung by Paul McGann, this is one of a numbered series of videos using the music of Bernard J. Taylor, whose musical version of MUCH ADO was partly inspired by the Kenneth Branagh movie of one of William Shakespeare s most popular plays. Scenes from the movie are used to illustrate the narrative context of the songs. The musical was first performed at Shakespeare s birthplace, StratfordonAvon, in 1997, with some members of the Royal Shakespeare Company in the cast. For more information go to
