Much Ado About Nothing
Playwright: William Shakespeare
Director: Winston Sutton
Students: First Major
Much Ado About Nothing is undoubtedly one of Shakespeare’s best comedies, featuring the sparring Benedick and Beatrice as they engage in a robust battle of the sexes. These two disputatious lovers are joined by Claudio and Hero, whose misunderstandings take on a much more ominous tone as questions of honour and fidelity arise through deception, gossip and rumour. Meanwhile, Constable Dogberry delights with his mastery of malapropisms, and mistaken identities add to the twists in the plot. An exuberant play that sparkles and delights.
