ABOUT THE SHOW
A delightful romp, William Shakespeare’s "MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING" follows the tangled affairs of Benedick and Beatrice, two fiercely independent souls engaged in a battle of wits, and the sweet courtship of Claudio and Hero, whose young love is threatened by jealousy and deception.
This sharp-tongued comedy proves that, sometimes, the biggest fuss is made over absolutely nothing at all.
