  3. MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING


Set against the backdrop of a modern-day reality TV show, this bold adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing transports Shakespeare's classic comedy into a contemporary world of curated images and hidden truths. Directed by Evelyn-Claire Smith, the show features an impressive cast including Olivia Spirz as Beatrice and Alec Reusch as Benedick. The production uniquely integrates live video projection, allowing actors to capture intimate moments on camera as they navigate romance and rivalry under the watchful eye of the lens. As secrets and schemes unravel in this immersive retelling, the question remains: can chaos lead to forgiveness in this glamorous villa?
