Much Ado About Nothing directed by Jenni Stewart: For some in Much Ado About Nothing, love begins at first sight. For others, love has been forsworn. The war is over. Pedro Prince of Aragon, with his followers Benedick and Claudio, visits Leonato, Duke of Messina, father of Hero and Uncle of Beatrice. Claudio who fights for his love for Hero, and Benedick, who has forsworn women until his friends make him believe that he has caught the eye of Lady Beatrice.
Two Gentlemen of Verona directed by Korey Kent: The Two Gentlemen of Verona is one of Shakespeare’s earliest plays and also one of the most rarely performed. It’s about betrayal, love and disguise. When two best friends fall in love with the same woman, chaos ensues.
