Thanks for posting this. I'm interested in your comments about the "Kill Claudio" moment and about those other parts that were played for laughs and I completely agree with you. I've always thought that that moment in the church scene is the one which really defines what sort of Beatrice the actress will be and whenever I've seen the play before it's always played quite seriously.
As you say though, it's all down to the direction - and maybe things will change as they head towards opening night.
I'm going at the end of June and I'm sure I'll be flailing about it whatever happens :-)
