Ranjit Bolt updates Much Ado About Nothing with a merry new translation.  In Much Ado About Nothing, a series of miscommunications and misunderstandings spiral out of control, leaving two sets of lovers to untangle their words and their hearts. Ranjit Bolt, an accomplished translator, takes on Shakespeare’s well-loved comedy to update much of the obscure language while maintaining the humor, characterization, and wit that audiences know and love. For modern readers, Beatrice, Benedick, Hero, and Claudio are just as enchanting as always—and perhaps funnier than ever before. This translation of Much Ado About Nothing was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present work from “The Bard” in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare’s verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print—a new First Folio for a new era.

Much Ado About The Duke je pánská parfémová voda, která vyniká kořeněnými a dřevitými akordy. Originální vůně pro muže, kteří touží po dobrodružství a nových zážitcích. Je to vůně, která přináší pocit svěžesti a luxusu, a připomíná nám, že život je plný příležitostí a dobrodružství, které stojí za to prožít. Akordy růžového pepře prostoupí intenzivní dřevité tóny vetiveru, zatímco smyslné akordy kůže si pohrávají s osvěžující a povzbuzující notou ginu. Penhaligon's Lon­don je britský parfumérský dům založený v roce 1870 Williamem Penhaligonem. Dům Penhaligon's, který vznikl původně jako holičství, nabídl svou první vůni v roce 1872, Hammam Bouquet. Vůně byly pravidelně vydávány z původního obchodu na Jermyn Street, dokud nebyl zničen v roce 1941. Obchod zmizel, ale vůně společnosti vydržely a v roce 1956 byla Penhaligon's u­dělena cena Royal Warrant od vévody z Edinburghu. Vůně byla uvedena na trh v roce 2016 a její tvůrkyní je Daphné Bugey.
