Much Ado About Nothing
Presented by Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival at Labuda Center for the Performing Arts July 11-August 5, 2012 By William Shakespeare
Directed by James J. Christy
With a zest for love and a love of life, Shakespeare’s spirited comedy offers a tale of two courtships. Beatrice and Benedick elevate the art of the quarrel in their duel of glittering wordplay, while Claudio and Hero have their true love put to the test. Dastardly villains are challenged by comical officers, as honor and desire collide to create much ado about laughter and love.
