    MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

    BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

    SYNOPSIS

    Beatrice and Benedick have both sworn never to fall in love, especially not with each other! Their battles of wits never fail to entertain, but their friends cannot resist the challenge of their declarations of mutual disdain and hatch a plot to make them fall “into a mountain of affection the one with the other.” No sooner has this scheme been enacted, however, when more serious problems arise: Evil forces have hatched a darker plot – to thwart the marriage of Beatrice and Benedicks’ dearest friends, Hero and Claudio. In Shakespeare’s most popular comedy, Much Ado About Nothing, loyalties are challenged, love is tested, and bumbling officials accidentally save the day! But, in the end, only true honesty can overcome the obstacles to love.
