Much Ado About Nothing

Description

With a foreword by Holly Bourne, author of Am I Normal Yet?

‘I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest’

Love, deception and discord are flourishing in the court of Messina.

Sweet, innocent Hero and the famed soldier Claudio are immediately infatuated, while the bickering Beatrice and Benedick can agree on just one thing: the other is insufferable. Little do they know, two plans are afoot – one to make Beatrice and Benedick fall in love, another to break up Hero and Claudio.

Much Ado About Nothing is Shakespeare’s witty comedy of words where sharp-tongued enemies become lovers and sweet romance turns sour.
