Much Ado About Nothing

Much ado about love. When WWII Italian resistance soldiers stop to rest at Leonato’s villa, there’s courtship of all kinds. While Beatrice and Benedick hide their infatuation beneath witty barbs, Hero and Claudio race to the altar. Enter the malcontent Don John, bent on ruining the wedding. He nearly succeeds, but not before Beatrice and Benedick finally tell each other how they really feel. Kate Buckley (The Taming of the Shrew) directs Shakespeare’s sharp, smart comedy about men and women and what it takes to make love happen.
