Much Ado About Nothing

This page refers to the canceled 2022 revival. For other adaptations, see this play's disambiguation.

MAY 28 – 29, 2022

At the turn of the 17th century, the triumphant return of an army from war sparks an intricate web of romance and strife under the warm Sicilian sun. This adaptation of Shakespeare's 1599 comedic masterpiece is a perfect blend of the Bard's greatest tropes, a clash of love and hate, truth and deception, humor and tragedy.
