MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

Much Ado About Nothing
June 14 - 30, 2013
Written by William Shakespeare

Directed by Tony Rust

Men returning from war. Young would-be lovers. Witty insults. Evil plots. Tricky counterplots. Mistaken identities. Eavesdropping in the garden. A faked death. And, finally, a double wedding. What have you got? One of William Shakespeare’s most popular comedies, which has been gracing stages all around the world since 1600, delighting audiences with its blend of robust hilarity and social commentary. If you’re already a Shakespeare-lover, you’ll love our Three Musketeers era production – and if you’ve not yet experienced the works of the Bard on stage, Much Ado About Nothing will provide the perfect, accessible introduction.
