Monroe County Civic Theater presents its 75th production -- Much Ado About Nothing. As part of the annual Shakespeare In The Park series, Much Ado presents the struggle of two contrasting groups of lovers. The rapier witted Beatrice and Benedick, both wary of the notion of love, find their war of words brought to a merry truce when friends concoct a scheme to bring them together at last. Meanwhile, the lovestruck Claudio and Hero find their storybook romance dealt a near fatal blow by the nefarious Don John and his minions. Luckily, the hilarious Constable Dogberry and his bumbling Night Watch stumble onto the evil plot and deliver their own brand of comedic justice. The play showcases Shakespeare's exuberant wit, masterful prose, and side-splitting comedy with its rich undercurrents exploring human nature.
