Directed by Kwame Kwei-Armah, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING begins performances at The Public Theater on Monday, November 25 and runs through Sunday, December 15 with an official press opening on Tuesday, December 3. The romantic comedy will have just completed a three week tour of prisons, homeless shelters, centers for the elderly, and other community venues throughout the five boroughs prior to its sit down run at The Public. BroadwayWorld brings you a first look below!

The complete cast features Michael Braun (Benedick); Rosal Colón (Margaret, Borachia, Friar Francis); Ramsey Faragallah (Leonato, Watch); Marc Damon Johnson (Don Pedro, Verges); A.Z. Kelsey (Claudio, Conrade); Lucas Caleb Rooney (Dogberry, Don John); Samantha Soule (Beatrice); and Kerry Warren (Hero, Sexton).

Now in its third year, the Mobile Shakespeare Unit is a reinvention of Joseph Papp's Mobile Shakespeare program, which began in 1957 to bring Shakespeare to the masses, evolving into the New York Shakespeare Festival and ultimately becoming The Public Theater. It is designed as a way to bring free Shakespeare to audiences who have limited or no access to the arts.
