| FREE THEATRE IN THE PARKS 2006 William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing (Click the photo to see more...) Much Ado About Nothing has everything you could want in a love story….. Love at first sight, thwarted love, sparring lovers, foolish lovers, passionate embraces, impassioned declarations of love…and hate, treachery, mistaken identities, reconciliation… forgiveness--and, Two and a Half Weddings and a Funeral! As the play begins, Duke Pedro swears he has forgiven his illegitimate brother for trying to usurp his inheritance. Don John, the ill contented brother, swears his allegiance to Pedro. Claudio, a young follower of Don Pedro, swears he loves Hero, an innocent young lady. Beatrice, Hero’s older and more cynical cousin swears she hates Benedick. Benedick, a dyed-in-the-wool bachelor, swears he hates marriage. With all this swearing going on, you can bet, someone isn’t telling the truth. The masks begin to slip as Don John dupes his brother and Claudio into disgracing a blameless Hero at the altar on the day of her wedding. Then, Beatrice and Benedick confess their love for each other and plan to avenge Hero’s honor. Only the members of the local town watch can save the day--and they are none too bright. Luckily, the Mediterranean sun is. All ends happily, as the witty and witless lovers marry and dance off into the sunset. Love shines brighter than the brilliant Mediterranean sun in this most romantic of all William Shakespeare’s plays.
