Laughter, witty wordplay and 1990s nostalgia come together int his tplayful and cherished classic, one of Shakespear's most deflightful romatic comedies, Much Ado About Nothing. Fast-flying gossip and thick-headed pride theatreaten to bring down the bash of the decasde as a fairy-tale marriage quickly turns from swoon to scandal. With honor and friendship on the line, sharp-tongue adversaries Beatrice and Benedick put their savage battle of wits (and hearts) on hold to restore order, charting them on a collision course that might just lead to true love. Hilarious slapstick, mistaken identities and a town full of well-meaning (but mostly ridiculous) characters lead to sheer theatrical delight onstage.

Much Ado About Nothing is presented by The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation as part of Milwaukee Rep's Classic Play Initative. With Corporate Sponsor Rockwell Automation and sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and Arts Midwest, Executive Producers Rebecca and Bryan House, Associate Producers Bob Balderson, and the Suzy B. Ettinger Foundation.
