Join us for an outdoor performance of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, presented by the Asolo Repertory Theatre, an FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training production. BardWired is an introduction to Shakespeare's work that is designed to break free of stigmas, using imaginative theatrical techniques to help Shakespearean language and stories connect with all generations of literature-lovers. While their soldiers have been away at war, the community of Messina has learned to lean on each other for support. The intrepid (and self-appointed) Neighborhood Watch are young scouts, led by troupe leader Dogberry--and scout surveillance is at high alert. As the neighborhood’s war heroes Benedick, Claudio, and Don Pedro return home, they have to renegotiate their place on the block. While young Hero and Claudio immediately fall in love, quick witted Benedick and Beatrice need a matchmaker’s push, but their love and return to the community of Messina are jeopardized by dastardly Don John’s villainous machinations. Fall in love with this uproarious, witty, and charming story adapted and directed by Gaby Rodriguez. Program suitable for all ages. Masks are required to attend. Program sponsored by Asolo Repertory Theatre in partnership with Manatee County Parks and Natural Resources. For more information contact [email protected].
