Much Ado About Nothing

The Shakespeare Festival, set under the stars in Southmoreland Park, kicks off its annual summer festival with a production of Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Sidonie Garrett. Set in Messina on the island of Sicily, a place where the changing political landscape shifts as frequently as the earthquake-prone ground, Much Ado About Nothing is the quintessential “battle of the sexes” story of deceit, manipulation, passion and — ultimately — love.
