MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

WITH HELEN HUNT

FRIDAY, JUNE 11 @ 7:00PM & 11:00PM

When Beatrice and Benedick realize they are in love, they are each overjoyed but their path to being together won’t be smooth.

“Much Ado About Nothing” is one of 13 plays that Shakespeare set in Italy, a country that was warm, sensuous and inviting for any 16^th-century Englishmen writing about lovers. Claudio and Hero are the conventional lovers, too tongue-tied to speak to each other; Beatrice and Benedick are the skeptics, too busy insulting each other to realize how much they are in love. Hunt explores this exquisite comedy of comparison and contrast, as well as what the ultimate “ado” about “nothing” really means.
