Presents Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" BOCA
RATON, FL (March 16, 2004) - Florida Atlantic
University presents Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing," a comedy
about love, betrayal and the battle of the sexes. The play will run Friday, April
2 through Sunday April 11, with performances on Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays
at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. in the Studio One Theatre on FAU's Boca Raton
campus, 777 Glades Road. Individual tickets may be purchased for $15, with group

This
16th century classic set in Sicily follows the various pathways in the journey
of love and relationships. In the characters of Benedick and Beatrice, Hero and
Claudio, we experience the sport of pursuit, the trials of courtship and the bliss
of love's affirmation. Misunderstandings, scheming and deceptions test love's
resolve, but in the end, it's 'much ado about nothing.'
The
play, directed by Bridget Connors, is presented by the School of the Arts' Department
of Theatre in FAU's Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, with additional
support from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council, the Palm Beach Post and WXEL.
