320 BroadwayThe war is over, but the wooing certainly isn’t. When Don Pedro’s soldiers return from war, they also return to their old lives and find that the saying is true: love is a battlefield.
While young Claudio’s eyes finally notice Hero, Beatrice and Benedick find their ancient “merry war” still wages on. While Beatrice and Benedick’s friends conspire to get them together, Don Pedro’s bastard-of-a-brother, Don John, conspires to break Hero and Claudio apart… will love finally win, or are we all just making Much Ado About Nothing?
This performance will run about 2 hours plus a 10 minute intermission.

We believe in presenting the works of William Shakespeare and his contemporaries through
original practices.
We use minimal lights, tech, and set to mimic the conditions these works were originally presented.
We directly address our audience,
engaging the crowd and perpetuating their existence in the world of the play.
We travel throughout New York's capital region and beyond, bringing these
plays to a wide array of communities.
