Much Ado About Nothing
4250 Atlantic Avenue Long Beach
This beloved play - often considered Shakespeare's original rom-com - promises an enchanting summer experience filled with witty wordplay, romance, and plenty of laughs. For those unfamiliar with the work, Much Ado About Nothing is a lively tale of courtship, rumor, and hilarious trickery. The story centers on the scandal involving young Hero and her suitor Claudio, as well as the "merry war" of words between the sharp-tongued Beatrice and the confirmed bachelor Benedick. In true Shakespearean fashion, misunderstandings and masquerades abound - but ultimately, love triumphs over all. Audiences can expect to be swept up in a whirlwind of clever banter and comedic chaos before the play's heartfelt resolution. LBSC's staging of Much Ado About Nothing will blend a fresh, playful energy with the company's classic approach to Shakespeare.
