MUCH ADO 4: This Strange Affliction Called Love

Sung by Paul McGann, this is part 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, Stratford-on-Avon, in 1997, with some members of the Royal Shakespeare Company in the cast. For more information go to
