Much Ado About Nothing

Shakespeare in the Park

Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Bruce Longworth
Jun 1 — Jun 26, 2022
Shakespeare Glen, Forest Park

Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare’s most popular and enduring comedies. The central characters, Beatrice and Benedick, are thorny, intelligent, witty and hopelessly bad at love. A battle royale ensues in a hilarious attempt to resist their overpowering mutual attraction that makes Much Ado such a timeless story of romance, suspicion and restoration.
