For those of you who can access it, there is the play (filmed play) with David Tennant and Catherine Tate on Digital Theatre. Or there are the two links below for films of the PLAY. Compare to either the DVD of Kenneth Branagh’s version (movie) or the Joss Whedon (movie) link I gave you to watch.
Below are links to two different stage versions of Much Ado About Nothing, both from Films on Demand. The links will require Library ID and PIN to access off campus and will work directly on campus.

There are several versions of Trifles available through YouTube. Pick two and document well, so I know which two to look at.
You could do Major Barbara (the movie) versus the print play. Unless you can find the play on line – which I have not been able to do.
So these are your choices. Remember you are looking for staging, setting, scene manipulation (change of order/perspective etc), dialogue changes, acting techniques, etc.
