About the Show

Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare

Directed by John Scritchfield, Visiting Lecturer of Theatre and Calvin Theatre Company Creative Director

Summary: The original "enemies to lovers" story with a 2004 twist. At the Messina Mall in 2004, our story revolves around two main couples: Hero and Claudio, and Beatrice and Benedick. Claudio falls in love with Hero, but their relationship is tested by the scheming Don John. Meanwhile, Beatrice and Benedick engage in a battle of words but are also drawn into a comedic romantic scheme. With witty banter, romance, a just a little bit of scandal, this classic comedy has something for everyone.
