Much Ado About Nothing is a 1599 comedy play by William Shakespeare, and historically a favorite of directors of SLOHS Iambic Pentameter. This title refers to:
Much Ado About Nothing - a 2001 live production, director unknown
Much Ado About Nothing - a 2012 live revival directed by Shannon Peters
Much Ado About Nothing - a 2021 virtual revival directed by Ian McKay
Much Ado About Nothing - a 2022 live revival directed by Lindsay Smith (canceled due to COVID-19)
The cast of the original 2001 production is unknown, as is the first revival in 2012. The casts of the 2020s revivals held little similarity, as much of the original cast graduated; major differences in the two casts included assigning multiple cast members to the ensemble Messenger and Watchmen roles in 2022, and combining several unrelated roles in the 2021 production. Five original cast members were set to return for the 2022 revival, with Mark Rourke and Linnaea Marks reprising their roles, and Lindsay Smith taking over as director.
