Much Ado is Worth the Fuss

Performed in modern dress using original Elizabethan vernacular, Much Ado About Nothing is a quintessential Shakespeare comedy and seminal rom-com that has a little something for everyone.  

A humorous love story with a touch of drama that pokes fun at everyone no matter their rank.

It’s a perfect show for groundlings who might appreciate that it’s not too complex and in fact at times borders on slapstick.

Directed by Selina Cadell, this was a very enjoyable performance where the players and the audience all seemed to be having a great time.

Much Ado About Nothing is presented by the Chicago Shakespeare Theater Company in their Courtyard Theater on Navy Pier, through December 21st 2025. Run time is about 2 hours and 25 minutes with one intermission. For ticket and information visit ChicagoShakes.com
