About this event
Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare Directed by Dawn Monique Williams
Nov. 6, 7 & 11-14 at 7:00 p.m. and Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. ASL Interpreted Performance Nov. 12
The court of Messina is transformed to the French Quarter of New Orleans, where, against the backdrop of Mardi Gras, a merry war of wits masks a landscape of guarded hearts and sharp-edged pride. In Shakespeare’s sparkling comedy, the cynics, Beatrice and Benedick, are perpetual sparring partners while the young lovers Claudio and Hero have their path to the altar sabotaged by the villainous Don John. A cruel deception threatens to ruin Hero’s reputation, as one couple is tricked into love and the other into scandal. Rich with brilliant wordplay and poignant vulnerability, Much Ado About Nothing remains a timeless celebration of love, delving into the power of gossip to destroy and the transformative grace of forgiveness to heal.
