----------

Shakespeare Miami opens its 2008 season in high style with one of Shakespeare's best loved comedies, Much Ado about Nothing, directed by Shakespeare Miami's Artistic Director, Colleen Stovall. Written in prose in straightforward language, this is considered one of Shakespeare's most accessible plays.



Set on the cusp of the 1960's in Louisiana, this production of Much Ado About Nothing swings with music of the era. With a terrific case of professional actors, featuring Dania Aguero as Beatrice and Noah Levine as the woman hating cad, Benedick. Shakespeare's most famous battle of the sexes is in good hands.



It is so easy to fall in love unless you are Beatrice and Benedick, who are more interested in a battle of words witty insults than wedding bands. Falling in love should be easy for the young couple Hero and Claudio, who are floating towards a storybook wedding. Instead, the not too bright lover, Claudio is tricked into denouncing Hero at the altar as a "Rotten orange" (16th century for "whore") instead of marrying her. Will the lovers get together or will the evil Don John crush their dreams?
