Much Ado About Nothing
JULY 18 TO AUGUST 9 • Rexville-Blackrock AMPHITHEATRE
bold-spirited & sharp-witted, Beatrice & benedick wear their pride like an armor and play the game to win—until they find something worth losing it for.
“For man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion.”
In Much Ado About Nothing, love is a battlefield of barbs and banter, where words wound deeper than swords. Beatrice and Benedick circle each other with wit as their weapon, too proud to admit what their hearts betray.
But when scandal threatens to ruin young Hero, and truth is cloaked in masquerade, these verbal sparring partners must decide: will they keep playing the game, or fight for something real?
Directed by Bjorn Anders and Nate Wheeler, starring John Metcalf and Jaime Mastromonica, this fresh and fiery production blends comedy with chaos, flirtation with fury—where nothing is as simple as it seems, and everything hangs on a whispered word.
