Sigh No More, Ladies, Sigh No More...
"Much Ado" is an adaptation of Shakespeare's play "Much Ado About Nothing" which will be presented as part of the Women's Theater Fringe Festival. Using Shakespeare's original language, the play will now focus on the roles that the women of Messina play in this society. How do women gain power? What kind of power do they wield? Will their power be used for good...or evil?
Synopsis: The war is over and the soldiers are coming back to Messina to stay at the household of Leonato and his wife Anotina. New loves and old rivalries are kindled, but just when happiness seems secure for Claudio and Hero, Dona Joan, the resentful sister of Prince Pedro, deceives them all--or at least the men. The women of Messina have to come together to prove Hero's innocence and restore her good name.
Runtime: 90 minutes
