New York City
For lovely Hero and dashing Claudio it?s love at first sight. For brassy, outspoken Beatrice and confirmed-bachelor Benedick, it?s an unending battle between two fiercely independent souls who would rather exchange scorching insults than sweet nothings. Family and friends conspire to ensnare the unlikely twosome into a truce, if not a true meeting of the minds, but this pair would rather make war, not love. Yet when Claudio?s plans to wed are sabotaged and Hero unjustly disgraced, the bickering couple must somehow forge a partnership to defend both house and honor, and salvage true love, in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing.
