Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare

Rotation Theatre Co. presents a bold 1999 reimagining of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy. Set during the heat of Ferragosto, Italy’s month-long August holiday, this Much Ado About Nothing unfolds on the cusp of Y2K, where the days are long, the wine is flowing, rumors spread like wildfire, and everyone’s guard is down. What begins as a carefree summer celebration soon spirals into misunderstandings, matchmaking, and one of Shakespeare's most beloved battles of wit.

Rotation Theatre Company is committed to expanding opportunities for young artists through a unique model of creative rotation. By encouraging emerging performers, directors, and producers to take on new roles with every production, we open doors that are too often closed to early-career creatives. Founded by young artists, for young artists, we merge theatre and film to spark innovation, expand opportunity, and redefine what’s possible on stage and beyond.
