Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare

Presented in 2010 by Company 157 in 2010 in La Jolla, CA

After the war, the men return to Messina to normal life. But the cruelty that caused the war in the first place lurks underneath everything they do, even when it seems like fun and games. The play shows us cruel people learning to do better, to love each other better.
