Much Ado About Nothing: by William Shakespeare. Set in the Roaring ’20s, this production sees Don Pedro and his friends Benedick and Claudio return home from WWI to stay at the Hotel Messina, owned by their friend Leonato. Leonato lives there with his daughter Hero and niece Beatrice. Claudio is immediately taken with the beautiful Hero, but Beatrice is less than thrilled to be sharing space with a former paramour, Benedick, and a merry battle of wits ensues.
