Much Ado About Nothing - Star of the Sea Theatre

Plays six shows from 25 July - 3 August
Shakespeare’s timeless comedy about the war of words between Benedick & Beatrice, challenges the traditional gender cliches so often found in a male dominated society.

Parties, love, verbal sparring, margaritas, and hilarious attempts at unlikely matchmaking are all a part of what is one of Shakespeare’s funniest comedies! This is a PG rated performance.
