MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Dennis Turney, Jr.
Choreographed by Marah McFadden
June 25-28 at 7:30pm
Front Lawn of Beach Music Hall
ESU Summer Theatre brings a "Yacht Rock" concept to the Bard’s famous comedic romp. Known for the brilliant war of words between the feisty Beatrice and the staunch bachelor Benedicke, Much Ado About Nothing plays out amidst the brittle high spirits of a post-war house party.
Bring a lawn chair or blanket and join us for a one of a kind outdoor theatrical event. For ages 21+, a cash bar with show themed drinks will be available throughout the performance for the ultimate nautical experience.
When Don Pedro, Prince of Aragon visits Leonato, Duke of Messina, love antics ensue. War hero Claudio falls in love with Leonato’s daughter, Hero and their marriage is agreed upon. While marriage preparations ensue, Don Pedro schemes up a plan to make old flames and longtime bantering partners Benedicke and Beatrice fall in love. Despite Beatrice’s ire against Benedicke and his claims to being a confirmed bachelor, when both overhear that they have feelings for one another, they both begin to wonder whether love between them is possible. Meanwhile Don John, the prince's misanthropic brother, contrives a more malicious plot to make Claudio believe his betrothed is unfaithful.
