Beatrice and Benedick are bitter exes who can’t stand each other. Hero and Claudia find love at first sight. Pedro Prince just wants to play cupid. And the vengeful John is bent on ruining everyone else’s lives just because he can. Will the villain get his way, or – even in this day and age – does love really conquer all? Set in today’s America – where battles tend to be fought in the courtroom – with updated characters and incorporating modern music and technology, the Rudes present a contemporary spin on one of Shakespeare’s greatest and most beloved comedies.
See our website for character descriptions and audition sides. Auditions will consist of readings from the script. You may prepare a one to two minute monologue if you wish. One role requires singing. https://rudemechanicals.com/2025/01/10/auditions-much-ado-about-nothing/
