Kenny Leon directs a bold new take on Shakespeare’s cherished comedy of romantic retribution and miscommunication, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
In this modern production, we find the community of Messina celebrating a break from an ongoing war. But not all is peaceful amid the revelry, as old rivals engage in a battle of wits, unexpected foes plot revenge, and young lovers are caught in a tumultuous courtship – until love proves the ultimate trickster, and undoes them all.
See why many call Much Ado the precursor to the screwball comedy.
The staging of this beloved comedy stars Danielle Brooks (Beatrice) and Grantham Coleman (Benedick) as the witty stars of a Shakespeare's rom-com
