Let’s take a trip together to Shakespeare’s Messina, on the isle of Sicily, where love and scandal meet with The Bard’s beautiful word play and poetry. Much Ado About Nothing interweaves two plots that explode in a volcanic fourth act. The marriage of Claudio and Hero is apparently destroyed through the efforts of the deceitful Don John, but these efforts help to bring about another great love story between Benedick and Beatrice. The serious layers of the plot are carefully balanced with light layers of action, slapstick comedy, and word play. As the characters ask, what is the meaning of the love they feel, we as the audience understand it’s right there in the title. Love really is much ado about nothing …
