Beatrice and Benedict

Approved

Set during one evening in a hot Sicilian summer, Béatrice et Bénédict takes up the delightful tale of Shakespeare’s best-matched and most-unwilling couple in this adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing. As Hero and Claudio prepare for their upcoming wedding (in this version they don’t have too many trouble with the preparations), they get rather tired of their friends, Béatrice and Bénédict, engaging endlessly in their fierce battle of wits. The community joins together in a classic Shakespearean plot in an attempt to trick their friends into falling in love, or perhaps, to realize the love that was already there. To keep the laughter flowing, this production sprinkles Shakespeare’s original English script into the spoken dialogue.
