Review: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING At Bacca Arts Center
Part of the Bard's First Folio, Much Ado About Nothing is a comedy about two intertwined love stories.

The young pair then conspire with Don Pedro, Claudio's commanding officer, to play matchmaker and set-up Beatrice, Hero's cousin, and Benedick, Claudio's friend and fellow officer. This turns out to be no easy task indeed as both Beatrice and Benedick have both a distaste for love...and each other. Will love prevail for both couples? Or will they fall victim to the sinister scheme of Don Pedro's brother and self-proclaimed villain, Don John?
