"Much Ado About Nothing" by Shakesperience Productions

This year’s Shakesperience production will be “Much Ado
About Nothing” performed in the green at McLaughlin Vineyards on Saturday,
August 24th at 4pm. (Rain date Sunday, Aug 25th). As the
title of this play suggests, there’s a lot of fuss over nothing! Claudio and
Hero fall in love and plan to get married, but the villainous Don John slanders
Hero with false evidence. The wedding is ruined and Hero faints. Her family
soon suspects slander and decides to pretend that Hero died from shock. Don
John’s evil plan is soon revealed and Claudio mourns Hero’s death. Eventually,
Hero is revealed to be alive and the marriage goes ahead as planned. In the
play’s closing moments, it is reported that Don John has been captured for his
crime. (from About.com)
