WMU Theatre Presents Much Ado About Nothing

Posted by Emily Duguay for Theatre

One of Shakespeare’s most enduring and beloved comedies! In this play full of mistaken identities and unexpected revelations, love and loyalty are tested in the aftermath of war. The story follows two very different romances: one sweet and straightforward, the other tangled in teasing and stubborn pride. As friends plot to bring enemies-turned-lovers together, a darker scheme threatens to pull everything apart.

This production balances laugh-out-loud wit with the emotional weight of betrayal and redemption. With themes of honor, forgiveness, and the power of truth, Much Ado About Nothing offers a fun night at the theatre for audiences of all ages. Prepare to be captivated by a story where laughter and heartbreak intertwine, and where the most unexpected heroes might just save the day.

“The play is as much about mischief and meddling as it is about love… [it] is arguably Shakespeare’s most playful and witty play.” - Broadway World
