Much Ado About Nothing
2016 Fall Performance
Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare
Overview:
Much Ado About Nothing, or Much Ado as it is commonly nicknamed, is one of Shakespeare's most renowned comedies. In this Shakespearean farce reset in post-WW1 New Mexico, Hero and her groom-to-be, Claudio, team up with Claudio's commanding officer, Don Pedro, the week before their wedding to hatch a matchmaking scheme. Their targets are sharp-witted duo Benedick and Beatrice -- a tough task indeed, considering their corresponding distaste for love and for each other. Meanwhile, meddling Don John, the bastard brother of Don Pedro, plots to ruin the wedding.
