Cross-Dressing in Shakespeare

[faustus]

It's been a while since I read MUch Ado about Nothing but whilst the girl (Hero?) pretends to be dead, am I right in thinking that this is one of the Shakespeare comedies without women dressing as men or vice versa (As You Like It, Twelfth Night, say)

Oh!

I gave my copy to Number One Son last summer, no the summer before when he went to Nicaragua, and when everyone on the trip started trading around the books they had brought to read he gave it to all the girls (it was mostly girls on the trip) so they all read it, but all they brought along were girl books so he was out of luck there. Then he brought it home really in rather good condition. So it was probably only one or two others who read it actually.

I was remembering the Annotated Pratchett File:

"'Much ado, in fact, about nothing.'"

"A Shakespeare play in which women dress as men, and which includes a character named Benedick"

Since I'm (still bloody) writing about TP right now I thought it wiser not to take the annotation on trust.
