MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING by William Shakespeare
Directed by Jaclynn Jutting

“Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.” (Hero, Act 3, Scene 1)

After protracted war, Don Pedro’s army has just returned home victorious and the Italian village is ready for love. But does the war continue? Two of Shakespeare’s most turbulent couples—Benedick and Beatrice, and Claudio and Hero, lob two-edged witticisms and damning accusations back and forth. A community of mischief-makers stir the pot creating and well-meant and malicious results. Will the truth or deception out?

Written in 1598-1599, Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare’s best comedies including well-known wordplay and banter; “In a false quarrel there is no true valour.” (Benedick, Act 5 Scene 1)
