Show Synopsis

This play centres on two young couples: Claudio and Hero, and Beatrice and Benedick. Beatrice, Hero's cousin, is embroiled in a "merry war" with Benedick, a soldier, and the two are equally-matched when it comes to their wit and their distaste for one another. Just beneath the surface of their banter, though, is an affection that is brought to light by a trick played by their friends. Claudio and Hero's story is dramatic, with the ill-intentioned Don John sabotaging Hero and Claudio's relationship by convincing Claudio that Hero has been unfaithful.
