Much Ado About Nothing at Alchemical Theatre of Wilmington

One of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, Much Ado About Nothing is a quick-witted tale of romance, miscommunication and intrigue. A feuding couple are tricked into falling in love while a betrothed couple's relationship is in jeopardy due to the work of a deceitful rival. It all comes right in the end, but on the way we see some of the best of Shakespeare's comic characterization and wordplay.
