San Diego Shakespeare Society Staged Reading: Much Ado About Nothing (Part Two)

Under the direction of Kim Keeline, we’ll take turns reading aloud from this great comedy. The play is set in Messina and revolves around two romantic pairings that emerge when a group of soldiers arrive in the town. The first, between Claudio and Hero, is nearly torpedoed by the accusations of the villain, Don John. The second, between Claudio’s friend Benedick and Hero’s cousin Beatrice, takes center stage as the play continues, with both characters’ wit and banter providing much of the humor.
