Much Ado About Nothing

Sparkling wit and love at first (or second) sight, proud princes and swooning maidens, inefficient villains overcome by bumbling fools – Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays, and one that is easily relatable for a modern audience. But this is more than just a witty comedy; it holds a mirror to a society that falls for lies all too easily. Targeted disinformation and manipulation are as commonplace in today’s real world as they are in this play. In the end, in Much Ado About Nothing the weakness behind the lies is exposed – and hopefully everyone, the audience included, has become a little wiser and less gullible.
