Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare
305 College Street
Lewiston, ME 04240
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Tim Dugan
Everyone can see that confirmed bachelor Benedick and headstrong Beatrice are meant for each other—except for Benedick and Beatrice themselves! Or at least they won’t admit it. Hilarity abounds in Bar Harbor, Maine in the summer of 1945 where their friends are trying to trick the bickering pair into admitting they’re in love while Hero and Claudio start a romance of their own. But will false accusations, broken promises, and even Dogberry prevent a happy ending? One of the greatest romantic comedies ever, Shakespeare offers us witty wordplay that dazzles and a raucous celebration that uplifts!
