Much Ado About Nothing

By William Shakespeare

Directed by Amber De Petro

"My talk to thee must be how Benedick
Is sick in love with Beatrice. Of this matter
Is little Cupid's crafty arrow made,
That only wounds by hearsay."

Han and Leia, Ron and Hermione, and Sam and Diane. Atop the charts of bickering, belligerent, beautifully-matched couples, you’ll still find Much Ado About Nothing’s Beatrice and Benedick.

A comedy about unshakable sisterly bonds, the value of quick wit and even quicker action, and the devastating power of rumor. For lovers of good-hearted Shakespeare, timeless romantic comedies, and an evening of unforgettable live theater.

Produced by Madison Shakespeare Company at Madison Country Day School Amphitheater, 5606 River Rd Waunakee, WI 53597
