“As merry as the day is long.” Two of Shakespeare’s most tumultuous couples—sparring singles Beatrice and Benedick, and young lovers Claudio and Hero—discover all is not as it seems in an idyllic town recovering from war. Will the truth win in this mischievous game of love? Secret love, courtship, and marriage intertwine with darker themes of warfare, deception, and mischief in Much Ado About Nothing. Romance, wit, and mistaken identities power this new staging of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy full of colourful characters, passionate poetry, and Shakespeare’s wittiest wordplay.

Directed by Johnna Wright with additional text by Erin Shields.
