About the Performance
This modern interpretation of Much Ado About Nothing is brought to you by Weekly Reader's literary magazine READ in partnership with The Ophelia Project. Much Ado is a romantic comedy that showcases villainy at its most vicious as an innocent girl's repuation is damaged by lies and deception. The play also features the memorable characters of Beatrice and Benedick, who start out at each other's throats and then act out a romantic plot of their own.
