Much Ado About Nothing Act 3

"Thou shouldst rather ask if it were possible

any villainy should be so rich.  For when rich

villains have need of poor ones, poor ones may

make what price they will"

Borachio, Act 3. sc 2, lines 111-114

When explaining to Conrade his deal with Don John, Borachio says that he was paid well by Don John to participate in his trick. He then makes this comment about villainy and the relationship between rich and poor villains.

This comment made me think about how we view rich villains vs poor villains. When we see a rich villain, who is either a villain in order to gain more money or just because they can be, we often don't have sympathy for them. They are simply there to play opposite the "hero" and perhaps send a message about greed. However, when we see a poor villain, especially one who is paid a large sum of money to do villainous deeds, we are more likely to understand their actions or have some sympathy for them. They may not choose the life of a villain for fun, but necessity. Particularly if we use the old definition of a villain, then this quote by Borachio can also mean that rich evil people would go to the low-born folk who have nothing to lose to do their dirty work for them in exchange for money so they can eat or find shelter. Those are some of the villains we might root for. Especially in this economy, who wouldn't do a little villainy to make rent or feed their family? (Legally, this is a joke.)

John is a prince, or a man disguised as a prince, as he mostly feels. He was born from a prince, a prince’s family, but one that was not meant to last longer than his mother’s labor pains would. As his mother and the man who sired him – he cannot permit himself to think of him as father – were not married in the eyes of either church or law, he is a prince, but one with a stain.

A prince, but. But. There is always an exception following the prince. Or, preceding it.

Usually that exception takes the form of bastard. Bastard son, bastard brother, bastard prince. ___

The sunlight pales in comparison to Hero.

John curses at himself and walks on.

Closing night, the night where all of us add our last hurrahs, Benedick dancing with the bush he was previously hiding behind to “hey nonny nonny”, me correcting Dogberry on a real slip up, Dogberry and me fighting over the wine bottle, Claudio pushing the podium so hard it not only rolled down the stage stairs, but hit the first pew… it was a good night. The best night. The one I’ll remember for all my life.

#strike was awesome too #I showed off my swing dance skills with Don Jon #and I showed my stellar folding skills!!! #it was also sad cause our Borachio is leaving our cast for college theatre #I love him the rat #much ado about nothing #maan

[barkilphedros-hat]

Eliot Levey really is the perfect Don John. Awkward, creepy, wet and gay. 11/10 excellent work 👌🏻

#he’s horrible but when he fails at trying to fist bump Borachio I fall a little bit in love #can’t tell me he wasn’t desperate to snog Conrade in that one scene #much ado about nothing #William Shakespeare #Elliot levey #much ado about nothing 2011 #much ado 2011

@futurexheroes​ followed! Greeter from Chiefly By My Villainy Borachio:

Borachio had been... pretty damn bored. And that was usually a recipe for disaster. When he was bored he got more impulsive than usual. See: the time he tried to hijack a train because he had watched too many westerns the previous night.

So he decided it was a good night to try to find his favourite vigilante. He had to be careful, though - the guy was the spitting image of Eraserhead, and that was not a guy that was going to let Borachio off the hook for his crimes just because of his winning smile.

Thank god the twins were easy to tell apart when they were relaxing - mainly because Borachio was pretty sure Shota never relaxed, while Shouta (seriously, their parents were fucking assholes, choosing basically the same name) often did when he took breaks.

“Hey, Shou, buddy!” Borachio laughed, patting his friend on the back with a grin. “Beat up  any nasty criminals tonight?”

I will rave and rave and continue to rave about these Shakespeare productions I have seen because I love them so much

#lohst.txt #i would yell more privately or in dms because I dont want to post photos publicly #but oh this production of much ado about nothing was amazing #it was 'inspired by the barbie movie with a dash of mad max some mad hatters tea party and a smattering of rock n roll' #the actors playing hero and claudio are already super close irl they were so sweet in character #borachio conrade and exton were amazing #the intermission had hero and her friends/waiting gentlepeople doing a scavenger hunt for a hens night #audience interaction and such #neon lights and dance sequences and pink and food thieves #(look i knew food theft was coming) #(ive been to enough summer Shakespeare's to know the characters will indeed hide in the audience)

[thenihilistofthevoid]

(( @passion-hunter idk if I've ever thrown Borachio at you but thought I might~! Let me know if you need me to explain his quirk, tho there's a pretty thorough explanation in the about page. ))

"Okay, okay, you got me," Borachio chuckled. He should have known better to use his quirk on that explosive blonde. Having the kid's boyfriend come after him was kinda scary. "He's been getting worse every day, right? What is it, violence? Obsession? Something keeps getting pushed to the maximum until he can't think of anything else, right? You figured out how to stop it yet, or do you still need me alive to talk?"

"Obsessive love, the psychotic kind. All Annie Wilkes." Saburo stated, having finally tracked this asshole down with some considerable effort, but now he was going to get answers. "You're going to undo whatever the fuck it is you did to him, or else you're going to suffer." With that, he extracted a scalpel and pressed the blade against Borachio's carotid artery, Gold Experience still twisting the man's arm behind his back as Saburo's other hand held his hair tight in a vice-like grip. "All I need to do is apply the slightest pressure with my finger and move my wrist a fraction, and you'll be unconscious in 30 seconds, dead in 2 minutes from blood loss. Do we have an understanding?"

Quotes from rehearsal:

(Once again, all real names have been changed to the name of the character they’re playing)

Borachio: (unintelligible screaming)

Borachio, calmly: I spilled my Sprite. 

~~~

Conrade: And Dogberry arrests me. 

Verges: I do too! Just because it is the 1940s doesn’t mean you have to erase the work women do. 

~~~

(During the wedding scene)

Hero: I feel like im gonna get beat up. 

Claudio: Verbally, yes.

~~~

Director: The Best Man’s here. And the Best Woman’s here. 

Beatrice: Maid of Honor?

Director: whatever it’s called. 

~~~

Director to Claudio: You’re doing the right thing by shaming Hero. They think it’s wrong, but you’re doing the right thing.

~~~

Antonio to Hero: Here’s some wine to null the pain!

~~~

Dogberry: Remember that I, Dogberry, am an ass!

Verges: You’re my ass 😭🫡

~~~

Fun fact: Dogberry, Verges, and the watch are gonna play The Andy Griffith Show Theme on kazoos as an entrance song. I think that’s awfully iconic and so in character for them.

My fairly niche Much Ado About Nothing take is that Don John should be a teenager. Give me sulky teen Don John being dragged along by his much older half brother. He's "not of many words" because he doesn't want to be there, and he's on his phone in every group scene. Conrade and Borachio are his little high school buddies who suck. Everyone else is having a great time as twenty-/thirty-year-olds and Don John is bored out of his mind and decides to cause problems on purpose.

The movie 'Much Ado About Nothing' except Margaret stops and beats the fuck out of Borachio for using her

#much ado about nothing

[2nd-mushroom-circle]

just watched a production of much ado where verges was dogberry’s sock puppet. highlights include:

- verges sneaking up and startling the Watch on his lines

- dogberry frequently shushing the sock puppet, who was much louder than him

- making the last point funnier, dogberry was very obviously the one speaking for all their lines. no attempt at ventriloquism

- dogberry, about his sock puppet: “an old man, sir, and his wits are not so blunt as, god help, i would desire they were, but in faith, honest as the skin between his brows” leonato: … sure.

- ursula just. stared at them for a second. when she came to call leonato in to the wedding

- in the trial scene, verges wore a little judge’s wig. no one else, including the judge, wore a wig

- when he called Dogberry an ass, conrad ripped the sock puppet off his hand

- the “i am a wise fellow, and what is more an officer” speech morphed into a eulogy for the verges puppet (“and one that hath had losses!”)

- the puppet was resurrected by the end of the scene

- don pedro: “constable -” dogberry, whispering: “constables. two of us”

- when leonato thanked them at the end of the play, and says “there’s for thy pains,” he tied his handkerchief around verges like a babushka

also bonus:

- borachio being so drunk he started acting as one of the watchmen and shepherding conrad around
