Hero meets Claudio. They fall in love. There will be a wedding. Huzzah!

Beatrice and Benedick set about their “merry war” of wits, swearing up and down that they will never marry.

So the household sets up an elaborate and good-natured scheme to lead Beatrice and Benedick to the altar. But Don John, bitter bastard brother to the Prince, cannot abide the happiness of his enemies, and manipulates a plot to upset everything. A romantic comedy and Shakespearean masterpiece, performed live under the stars at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens.
