Much Ado About Nothing Encore

I was in a play called Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare, with the lead roles as Hero and Doggberry, (Hailey and I switched off parts) It was so much fun and I am glad its over!
If you are reading this and have never heard of the play, or are just curious, I've provided a plot line along with a list of characters.
Plot:
The Prince Don Pedro, with his men Benedick and Claudio, and Don John and his men Borachio and Conrade, go to the Governor Signor Leonato's home to stay and rest after the wars. Claudio falls in love with Signor Leonato's Daughter, Hero; while Benedick aquires his worst enemy, Signor Leonato's neice, Beatrice. Don Pedro wishes to help Claudio win Hero's love, and Benedick vows never to marry.
That night, Signor Leonato holds a Masqerade. Don Pedro pretends to be Claudio, and dances with Hero. Benedick talks with Beatrice, and tricks her that he is not who he really is. Don John learns of Claudio's love and tries to trick Claudio into thinking Don Pedro is really wooing Hero for himself. Claudio is quick to believe and becomes jealous. Later, While Leonato, Hero and Beatrice are present, Don Pedro reveals his plan to Claudio. Then Leonato, Hero and Claudio plan the marriage. After Beatrice leaves, Don Pedro suggests that they should trick Beatrice and Benedick into falling in love with each other. Leonato, Claudio, and Hero plan to take part in the plan, and do their part the next day. Don John then makes a plan to slander Hero, eventually leading to killing Leonato.
The next day, Don Pedro, Leonato, and Claudio take their plan in action. They purposely make Benedick overhear their conversation on how Beatrice secretly loves Benedick (when she really doesn't). Benedick believes them, and falls in love.
That same day, Hero and her Gentlewomen Margaret and Ursula, do the same thing reversed, and end up with the same results.
That night, the master constable Dogberry and her watch set up and take watch for the night. Don John's men Broachio and Conrade are out and about after completing a task that earned Borachio one thousand ducats. Borachio made Margaret pretend to be Hero, and called upon her that night, while Claudio watched with Don John and Don Pedro. Borachio bragged as Conrade listened, and were caught by the watch and arrested.
Dogberry then talked with Leonato and got permission to examine the prizoners, but out of habit, was not understood very well and took a little longer than planned.
On the day of the wedding during the proceedings, Claudio shamed Hero in front of everyone, making her seem disloyal. Hero fainted because of the trauma it had caused and Claudio left with Don Pedro immeadiatley. Don John had disapeared during the whole affair and was not seen ever again in Messina. Leonato was horrified, and believed Claudio. Hero woke up, very confused and devastaded. The friar suggested that the only way to find out who is to blame, is to pronounce Hero dead. That way, if Hero is innocent, Claudio would be very sorry for what he did, and Leonato could take care of it from there. Leonato agreed to try the friar's plan.
Benedick later came to see if Hero was doing well, and to console Beatrice, they talked and confessed their love. Benedick wanted to kiss Beatrice, but Beatrice was so furious that she told Benedick to kill Claudio in order to kiss her. Benedick was not about to kill his best friend, and tried to reason with Beatrice, but Beatrice was stubborn did not change her mind. Benedick kissed her hand instead and agreed to challenge Claudio.
Dogberry then examined the men, learned the news of Hero's "death", and was called a fool, and Conrade and Borachio were sent to jail.
While Claudio and Don Pedro were out in the garden, Benedick walked up to Claudio, and challenged him. Claudio took it as a joke and thought nothing of it until Benedick stomped out unsecessfully. Then Dogberry and her watch came in with Conrade and Borachio. Dogberry told Don Pedro what had happened, but out of habit, mixed everything up and was not understood. Borachio then explained what he had done. Just as Dogberry was about to leave, Leonato came in fury and went after Borachio. Borachio had confessed and told Leonato that it was wrong of him to do so, and to spare Margret, becacause she did not know that she had been used in the plan. Leonato excused Dogberry, and Claudio apologized and asked what he could do to make it up to Leonato. Leonato then Decided to let Claudio marry his neice who looked exactly like Hero, and to treat his neice like he would have treated Hero then Leonato would forgive Claudio. Claudio agreed and went to go and mourn for Hero.
After Claudio had mourned Hero's "death", He went to Leonato's to marry his neice who looked like Hero. When Claudio arrived, there were four ladies in veils. Leonato then took one and told Claudio to swear to marry her before she would take off her veil. Claudio did so, then the lady took off her veil to reveal that Hero was alive. Claudio was shocked and the truth was revealed. Benedick then called for Beatrice to talk to her, Beatrice then removed her veil. Benedick asked Beatrice if she loved him, and she confessed that she didn't, Beatrice asked Benedick the same question, and he confessed that he did not as well. Beatrice then told Benedick that Hero and her Gentlewomen swore that Benedick loved her, and Benedick told Beatrice that Leonato, Don Pedro, and Claudio swore that Beatrice was dying of love. Claudio then revealed a sonnet written by Benedick to Beatrice, then Hero revealed another sonnet written by Beatrice to Benedick. They both read them, and decided to get married. Benedick told Claudio that he was sorry and he forgave him. Then Benedick told Don Pedro that he might as well go get married too. Just as they were about to hold a celebration, Dogberry's watch found Don John and brought him to Leonato's home, Benedick then told the watch to wait until tomorrow to deal with Don John, and continued with their party.
The end!

It was a very fun play to do, and I loved performing it. If you have any questions or comments feel free to Neomail me. Here are a list of my favorite lines from the play:

Leonato: "I see lady, that this Gentleman is not in your books."
Beatrice: "No, an he were, I would burn my study."

Claudio: "You speak to fetch me in, my lord."
Don Pedro: "By my troth, I speak my thought."
Claudio: "And, in faith, my lord, I spoke mine."
Benedick: "And by my two faiths and troths, my lord I spoke mine."

Margaret: "Heaven match me with a good dancer!"
Balthazar: "Amen!"
Margaret: "And Heaven keep him out of my sight when the dance is done!"

Don Pedro: "You have put him down, lady, you have put down."

Beatrice: "Speak count, 'tis your cue."

Claudio: "Bait the hook well; this fish will bite."

Dogberry: "Is our whole dissembly appeared?"

Dogberry: "Pray, Write down Borachio. Yours sirrah?"
Conrade: "I am a gentleman, sir, and my name is Conrade."
Dogberry: "Write down, master gentleman Conrade."

Don Pedro: "How now? Two of my brother's men bound! Borachio one! Officers, what offence have these men done?"
Dogberry: "Marry, sir, they have committed false report; moreover, they have spoken untruths; secondarily, they are slanders; sixth and lastly, they have belied a lady; thirdly, they have verified unjust things; and, to conclude, they are lying knaves."
Don Pedro: "First, I ask thee what they have done; thirdly, I ask thee whats their offence; sixth and lastly, why they are committed; and, to conclude, what you lay to their charge. Who have you offended, masters, that you are bound ot your answer? this learned constable is too cunning to be understood: what's your offence?"

Beatrice: "Foul words is but foul wind, and foul wind is but foul breath, and foul breath is noisome; therefore I will depart unkissed."

Benedick: "I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap, and be buried in thy eyes; moreover, I will go with thee to thy uncle's."

Benedick: "Come, come, we are friends: let's have a dance ere we are married, that we may lighten our own hearts and our wive's heels. Prince, thou art sad; get thee a wife, get thee a wife:"
