The Shakespeare Company at UCLA, a student-run independent theater group, will transport William Shakespeare&#039;s comedy &quot;Much Ado About Nothing&quot; to 1960s England in the company&#039;s newest production, running from May 30 to June 1. The company&#039;s adaptation separates characters into the Mods and the Rockers, two subcultures divided by their lifestyles. (Shakespeare Company at UCLA)
