Much Ado About Nothing Tickets

Just in time for the holiday season, Shakespeare’s wittiest and wildest rom-com

Meet Beatrice and Benedick: two ferociously independent individuals who have steadfastly avoided sharing their lives with anyone but themselves… until now. Despite their best efforts to remain single, falling for one another is inevitable in the wittiest and wildest of Shakespeare’s comedies. CST welcomes back acclaimed director Selina Cadell, whose ground-breaking Hamlet starring Eddie Izzard broke box office records at CST and in theaters around the world. Set against the backdrop of romantic Italy, it’s a warm-hearted ode to the power of love and the joy of partnership.

Director Selina Cadell shares, “In a turbulent world, where charm turns on a dime to hot headed decisions and disproven assumptions, Much Ado About Nothing is a play for our times, reflecting the tangles of a powerful patriarchy and the wrongful accusations made when power and reputation take precedent over listening and truth. Shakespeare balances this tragic lens with comedy and compassion, as Beatrice and Benedick guide themselves and us through the obstacles that can thwart enduring love.”
