Much Ado About Nothing

directed by Willis Taylor

Beatrice and Benedick enjoy nothing better than throwing insults at each other, but as they spar, their sizzling repartee begins to reveal their deep regard and mutual affection. Their new-found connection is challenged, however, when Beatrice’s niece Hero is wrongfully accused and abused. Set in the 1920s, an era of changing attitudes towards marriage and power, the play presents a society at once filled with progressive feminist impulses and opposing systems rooted in patriarchal values. Will truth and love win out?
