Much Ado About Nothing

Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare's greatest comedies. It is a play of parallel love stories: the impetuous Claudio and Hero, who meet and fall desperately in love and plan to get married in seven days-time; and the vulnerability and awkwardness of the wiser and wittier Beatrice and Benedick, two people who think true love has passed them by and do all in their power to resist it.
