Tony Award winner Kenny Leon ("American Son," "A Raisin in the Sun") directs a bold new take on Shakespeare’s cherished comedy of romantic retribution and miscommunication, "Much Ado About Nothing." In this modern production, we find the community of Messina celebrating a break from an ongoing war. But not all is peaceful amid the revelry, as old rivals engage in a battle of wits, unexpected foes plot revenge, and young lovers are caught in a tumultuous courtship – until love proves the ultimate trickster, and undoes them all.
