Claudio loves Hero and Hero Claudio and nothing seems capable of keeping them apart. Claudio's friend Benedick loves Beatrice and Beatrice Benedick, but (because neither will admit it) nothing seems capable of bringing them together. Only the intrigues of a resentful prince force Benedick to prove his love for Beatrice. Our Much Ado is a bittersweet take on this classic love story, set amid the hypertension of an Italian restaurant.

Much Ado About Nothing will take place in the Center Circle Courtyard, which ECT will transform into "Leonato's Trattoria." There will be two tables in the center of the courtyard that will receive a pre-fixe Italian meal throughout the course of the show (Show and Dinner Ticket) and then a row of chairs around the perimeter of the courtyard that will be viewing only tickets that do not include the meal (Show Only Ticket). The entire play will take place in the courtyard.

FAQ:

- Audience members will not be allowed to bring their own food and drink for this show (we will have a bar with beer, wine, water)

- The meal will be pre-fixe salad, meat lasagna, and a dessert. We won't be able to make modifications, so if someone has dietary restrictions, they should select the Show Only Ticket.
