Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, one of the most popular plays in the canon, receives a breath of fresh air this summer from the Classic. When Leonato, the play's hospitable host, decides to play a party game with his guests, fun becomes fate, deceptions turn to truth, and seemingly lighthearted craftiness leads to an issue of life and death. The play stars Asia and Tony Ciaravino as the combatively lovable Beatrice and Benedick, and San Antonio veteran actor Bill Gundry as Leonato, and is directed by Andrew Thornton.
