England’s International Theatre Company London (ITCL) brings another compact interpretation of Shakespeare to Japan. Under director Paul Stebbings, the troupe specializes in delivering economical yet professional productions to difficult parts of the world and in recent years has offered the only regular touring English-language theater in Japan. Stebbings’ approach to Much Ado About Nothing, one of Shakespeare’s darkest comedies, is to try and explore its extremes, “not to flatten it by making its conflicting moods and fast changing values into one harmonious whole.”
