Much Ado About Nothing at Woodstock Arts

For Beatrice and Benedick, wit is a full-contact sport, and each is happy to throw some elbows, believing themselves to above something as trivial as “love.”  But would they really be pushing back if they weren’t…fighting against something? Their friends sure see right through all their bickering and sparring into what is hiding in their hearts. Sometimes a stubborn soul just needs that proverbial kick in the pantaloons to get out of their own way. 

Set against the backdrop of soldiers returning home from World War II, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING is fun and funny, but sharply aware of the “battle of the sexes” and the twists and turns in how our society values women, this adaptation by Claire Martin is going to have you laughing, crying, swooning, swaying, and reflecting all in one. 

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING grabs the audiences by the heartstrings as we all DISCOVER…WILL THEY OR WON’T THEY?
