Shakespeare Play Goes Live In Facebook News Feeds

Over the next three days, a group of actors will be playing Shakespeare's classic Much Ado About Nothing live on your Facebook news feed.

This one seems to be a Facebook first: today, April 26, at 4 pm Pacific Standard Time and until April 28, a modern remake of Shakespeare’s comedy Much Ado About Nothing will be presented in real time on Facebook.

Besides the obvious artistic merit of this social media experiment, the project seems to be smart on a variety of levels: for one, it will bring awareness and Facebook fans to the initiative’s two sponsors, literary magazine Read and youth nonprofit The Ophelia Project.
