VIDEO: Danielle Brooks Talks Shakespeare in the Park's MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

Danielle Brooks was a guest on Friday's episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan to talk about the modern take of Shakespeare in the Park production of "Much Ado About Nothing."

Brooks talks about the production saying, "It's modern, so it's actually set in 2020 and we actually have a huge sign that says Stacey Abrams 2020 outside of it and I play Beatrice so I actually get to be like the love interest which is so cool for me because most of the time that doesn't happen."

Kenny Leon directs a bold new take on Shakespeare's cherished comedy of romantic retribution and miscommunication, Much Ado About Nothing. In this modern production, we find the community of Messina celebrating a break from an ongoing war. But not all is peaceful amid the revelry, as old rivals engage in a battle of wits, unexpected foes plot revenge, and young lovers are caught in a tumultuous courtship - until love proves the ultimate trickster, and undoes them all.
