Join us as we celebrate William Shakespeare's 450th birthday -- and our 45th!
William Shakespeare's well-loved romantic comedy Much Ado About
Nothing is set on the beautiful Italian island of Sicily, and
our production is set in 1870, as Italy was becoming a unified country
for the
first time.
It's a perfect backdrop for this story of men returning home from
battle, a sweet, young love match -- and the reunion of Beatrice and
Benedick, the couple who cannot meet without engaging in a war of
words. They'd have you believe they'll never marry -- but their friends
think differently, and plot to bring the two together.
A villain with mischief on his mind, some lovely music
set to Shakespeare's words, and the physical comedy of the local
officers of the Law will add to this rich story.
