By William Shakespeare | Directed by Shyama Nithiananda
About the Show
Some people fall in love at first sight. Some people swear eternal singleness and get set up by their families on a dare. Much Ado About Nothing is the original enemies-to-lovers rom-com; laugh, cry, swoon, and fight with your friends!
