MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING to be Presented at Weathervane Theatre
Mainstage performances will take place on Tuesday, September 15, Sunday, October 4, and Friday, October 9.
Weathervane Theatre will present Shakespeare's original rom-com, Much Ado About Nothing. Claudio and Hero love each other. Benedick and Beatrice loathe each other-or do they? As the young lovers conspire to play matchmaker for Shakespeare's finest verbal sparring partners, life gets complicated as they all become mixed up in a series of mishaps, mistakes, and misunderstandings. Bursting with wordplay, music, and mischief, this timeless battle of wits proves that love is anything but simple in this timeless romantic comedy.
Much Ado About Nothing is directed and adapted by Nathaniel P. Claridad, who returns to the Weathervane after assistant directing Broadway's Tony-winning revival of Ragtime.
