​

Shakespeare’s beloved comedy tells the story of Benedick and Beatrice, a pair of sworn enemies, constantly engaged in a “merry war” designed to insult and berate one another. A plot then unfolds among their close friends and spectators to trick the two into confessing their love for each other. Meanwhile, Claudio, a soldier of the prince Don Pedro, is fooled into believing that his beloved Hero has been unfaithful to him. Hilarity ensues, as a story of rumors, deception, and mistaken identity unfolds, and the most unlikely pairs join forces to set things right.
