Written circa 1598, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING is a comedy set at the end of a war, at a time when people are allowing themselves to believe they have a future. Their emotions are thawing out after a period of national trauma. Soldiers are struggling to re-enter the civilian world; survivors are struggling to re-form the bonds of family and friendship. Like any Shakespeare play, this is a piece that reaches across time to shake us by our collective cultural lapels. It confronts us with a wealth of ideas that couldn't be more current - gender roles, infidelity, generational divides - and hope.
The play is directed by Amy Frey and Tal Aviezer, who also play Beatrice and Benedick. The cast also includes Yannik Encarnação, Nick Leshi, Derek Tarson, Margaret Gorrell, Sean Demers, Sean Coffey, and Ariel Francoeur. The stage manager is Grace Terdoslavich and the choreographer is Danielle Aviezer.
