About the Event

About the Play

Much Ado About Nothing is a comedic play by William Shakespeare about misunderstandings, love and deception. A hilarious production fit for the whole family!

Count Claudio falls in love with Hero and proposes. Hero’s cousin, Beatrice (a confirmed spinster), and Benedict (an eternal bachelor) are duped into believing the other is in love with them. Claudio is deceived. Hero is wrongfully accused. Will love prevail?

This highly stylized, modern-dress production features five actors, each playing three roles. The cast will change characters mid scene and carry on conversations with themselves! It’s Shakespeare like you’ve never seen it before!
