In And Seek (Not) to Alter Me, 16 authors and 15 artists have come together to create an exquisite, full-color collection of artwork and stories inspired by William Shakespeare's play Much Ado About Nothing. We encouraged contributors to stretch their imaginations, think outside the box, and put their own unique?and queer?twists on Benedick, Beatrice, Hero, Claudio, Don Pedro, and the whole gang! In true Shakespearean fashion, our creators utilize gender, sexuality, romanticism, and a host of costume changes to tell unique artworks and stories?some featuring original characters, some characters from the play?that show Shakespeare's work in a whole new light.
