 [ Large Image ] | Dogberry Charges the Watch: Being A Snippet from His Comedy ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ Andrew Steeves 2021 / / $200.00 Fine / 24 pp In the wake of recent high-profile incidents exposing anew the age-old crisis in policing, the bumbling, verbose, self-important character of Constable Dog-berry from Shakespeare’s play Much Ado About Nothing takes on importance beyond the ordered world of Elizabethan comedy. Off stage, out here in our communities, the incompetence of Dogberry and his watchmen now does much damage. This excerpt from the play and short commentary remind us of the importance of expecting effort and equity from our civil authorities.
