I had Much Ado as one of my first introductions, and I remember it being fun, but not really getting it at the time. I think everyone's first Shakespeare play is hard going, it's not until you get the rhythm of them and start seeing them live that they make more sense. And Much Ado is a particularly mean one because so much of it is innuendo that you need a guide for, and there's nothing the kills jokes faster than a guide explaining them. I'd love to see a modern translation of Much Ado, but done with the aim of really translating joke for joke, replacing some of the puns that don't work any more with modern versions, making the double entendre a bit more modern, etc.
