"MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING"
by William Shakespeare |
|
A touring cast of students from Cambridge University presents the play in a modern setting. In the words of the cast, "Shakespeare's finest comedy. . . . With an occasional cricket match, afternoon tea on the lawn and perhaps even jazz, Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing' is a witty whirlwind of love and hate, tragedy and happy endings, teaching us that in the 'merry war' of the sexes, no one is safe from Cupid's darts." |
