Everythings a little off? Good! When we designed Much Ado, we wanted to show how love comes in different forms:
*Selfless love, Donna Pedra helps Claudio and Benedick, or family love, like Hero and Beatrice.
*Idealized/romantic love, Claudio and Hero, everything is always perfect... till it's not.
*Realistic love, Beatrice and Benedick, it isn’t perfect but built with both partners.
When you see the things on stage that don’t quite match, styles of architecture and costumes from different periods, you’re seeing our exaggerated representations of love. Shakespeare’s words about love have lasted all these centuries, no matter how many different ways we dress them up, because they help us realize the truth about something we all experience. You dont have to make a a big deal about something that can be simple and honest. Thank you so much for coming, and enjoy the show!
