Much Ado About Nothing
Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare’s great comedies. This joyous romp celebrates brave soldiers returning triumphant from the battlefield only to find themselves bewildered by love. At a masked ball, heroic warrior Claudio falls for beautiful Hero, while Benedick engages in verbal sparring matches with feisty Beatrice. Will Claudio and Hero be happily married, or will scoundrels successfully conspire against them? Could Benedick and Beatrice’s aversion transform itself into affection?
