Much Ado About Nothing (Viel Lärm um Nichts)

Two couples in love gather at the court of Governor Leonato. While Claudio and Hero suffer under a malicious intrigue, Beatrice and Benedick make life difficult for themselves through constant teasing, barbed remarks, and verbal sparring.

This Shakespeare adaptation, conceived as a fast-paced screwball comedy, is performed with great virtuosity by a prominent ensemble from both stage and screen. At the heart of this faithful and highly entertaining version lies the theme of the battle of the sexes, explored through sharp wit and brilliantly pointed dialogue.
