Much Ado About Nothing

Directed by Tom Liszka
Love is in the air as two of Shakespeare’s most tumultuous couples— Beatrice and Benedick, and Claudio and Hero—volley hilarious quips and damning accusations back and forth. For Beatrice and Benedick, wit is a full-contact sport, and each is happy to throw some elbows. But wethinks they doth protest too much. Sometimes a stubborn soul needs that proverbial kick in the pantaloons to get out of their own way.
Will the truth win in this mischievous game of love? Romance, wit, false accusations, mistaken identities, and a cunning villain fuel this beloved classic with a central couple that set the standard for today’s rom coms.
