It's an evening of mischief and merriment as Boston Theater Company presents the original battle of the sexes, Much Ado About Nothing. This new take on Shakespeare's witty romantic comedy introduces modern-day technology into the mix to help illustrate the theme of miscommunication that drives the story. Four couples are planning an ill-fated wedding, and hilarity ensues as they fake deaths, spread rumors, and do a bit of mischievous Photoshopping. This original reboot of the classic play adds in some of Shakespeare's most compelling sonnets and merges the original 24 characters to create eight unique roles in a new 90-minute version of the play. The immersive, in-the-round staging of the timeless comedy also features live original music.
