(2010) Much Ado About Nothing
|
|
War is over. The victorious Prince of Aragon, Don Pedro, returns from battle to the Italian town of Messina to enjoy the hospitality of the Governor and his family. Celebration and the threat of tragedy follow with a masquerade ball, a wedding, a revengeful villain, saucy maids, a funeral, a trial, clowns and of course two sets of lovers.
The ‘merry war’ between the two central characters, Beatrice and Benedick, lies at the heart of this play. Publicly they battle it out with acerbic wit and insults, privately they yearn for each other’s affection. But will true love run smooth?
