Much Ado About Nothing

Much Ado About Nothing begins when Don Pedro’s army arrives in the idyllic town of Messina after a successful battle. The play revolves around the romances of two very different couples: the comely Hero and Claudio and the tempestuous Beatrice and Benedick. Their path to love is beset by misunderstandings and rumours created by Don John, Don Pedro’s villainous brother. Jam-packed with classic elements of Shakespeare’s romances – music, masquerades and marriages – Much Ado About Nothing explores the perils and power of gossip.
