MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING at SPOTLIGHTERS THEATRE

Much Ado About Nothing, a 1598 comedy by William Shakespeare, features two romantic pairings that emerge when a group of soldiers arrive in town. The first, between the two young lovers Hero and Claudio, is almost upset by a villains fiendish plot; the second, between the more mature lovers Beatrice and Benedick, is hampered by the fact that the two start off hating each other! Noting or nothing" means gossip, rumor and eavesdropping, and thus witty banter, secrets and trickery form the backbone of the play's comedy, intrigue and action. Plus tuneful songs, formal dances and comic turns by the malaprop-afflicted Constable Dogberry!
