MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
PRESS OPENING: Wednesday, February 19, 2025 @ 7PM
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING By William Shakespeare Directed by Charles McMahon Extended through March 23, 2025 Beatrice and Benedick hardly seem like a couple to be placed at the center of a classic romantic comedy. Well past the age of youthful infatuation, they would rather duel with wits and mock the coup de foudre of the young lovers Claudio and Hero. But Venus will not be denied. Through a dizzying web of misdirection and deceits both malign and benign, Beatrice's and Benedick's steadfast refusal to love is put to the acid test. Will they go on with their merry single lives or fall in love despite themselves? Photo Downloads: AMERICAN MOOR
