Much Ado About Nothing

By William Shakespeare

Adapted by Mary Ann Rodgers

Directed by Lisa A Tromovitch

As one of Shakespeare’s most performed comedies, Much Ado About Nothing explores love and friendship, honor and deceit, and a couple of cases of crossed wires as newly-engaged Hero and Claudio play cupid to the constantly bickering Beatrice and Benedick. Can love conquer all or will it all be much ado about nothing?
