Florence, KY, October 5th, 2012 – Indiana Wesleyan University-Florence is pleased to announce they will be hosting the IWU Theatre Guild’s performances of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. Using original practices, the production embraces the settings and challenges that Shakespeare faced. All proceeds go to benefit the Indiana Wesleyan University Theatre Scholarship Fund.
Don Pedro of Aragon and his troops return from war and are welcomed home by Leonato, the governor of Messina. Claudio, Don Pedro’s right hand man, falls in love with Leonato’s daughter, Hero. Leonato’s niece, Beatrice, and Claudio’s friend Benedick have a love-hate relationship and both declare that they will never fall in love. Don Pedro, Claudio, Hero, and Leonato decide to try to trick Beatrice and Benedick into loving one another. Don Pedro’s half brother, Don John, devises a plot against Claudio in which he will trick Claudio into believing that Hero has been unfaithful. On Claudio and Hero’s wedding day, Claudio publicly shames Hero and leaves the wedding in a great scene. Beatrice asks Benedick to challenge Claudio, and a merry war ensues.
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING has two performances on Saturday, October 20th at 2:00pm and 7:30pm at Indiana Wesleyan University-Florence in Florence, KY. Tickets are $7 and can be purchased at the door. For more information contact Grace at 859-414-6143.
