McGuire Proscenium StageMUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
Shakespeare proves that falling in love isn't the preserve of the young...
Is falling in love only for the young? Not according to Joe Dowling's take on Shakespeare's romantic comedy Much Ado About Nothing.
The play centers on two couples: young lovers Claudio and Hero and middle-aged Benedick (played by Daniel Gerroll, A Christmas Carol) and Beatrice (Irish stage and screen actress Dearbhla Molloy), sworn enemies who become the victims of a clever scheme.
In a world where everyone eavesdrops, meddles and minds others' business, Benedick's friends fool him into believing Beatrice loves him and the women do the same for Beatrice. Thus begins their inevitable and entertaining journey to finding true love late in life.
This charming exploration of love and marriage, friendship and honor, delivers music, dancing and merriment, proving that falling in love is for everyone, young and old.
The Guthrie Theater's educational programming for Much Ado About Nothing is part of Shakespeare for a New Generation, a national program of the National Endowment for the Arts in cooperation with Arts Midwest.
