Much Ado About Nothing
By William Shakespeare
October 28 - November 19, 2011
Benedick and Beatrice are engaged in a "merry war" of mile-a-minute talk about their scorn for love, marriage, and each other. Claudio and Hero are rendered practically speechless by their transcendent love for one another in a race to the altar. Don John nearly triumphs in ruining the wedding, but not before Beatrice and Benedick finally tell each other how they really feel.
