Filmed at National Theatre Live in London, Shakespeare’s comedy “Much Ado About Nothing” is coming to the Dietrich Theater’s big screen at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 5, at 2 p.m. and at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15.
Leading the cast are Katherine Parkson, of “The IT Crowd,” and John Hefferman, of “Dracula.”
This famous romcom of sun, sea and mistaken identity takes place at the legendary family-run Hotel Messina on the Italian Riveria, which has been visited by artists, celebrities and royalty. But when the owner’s daughter weds a dashing young soldier, not all guests are in the mood for love. A string of scandalous deceptions soon surround not only the young couple, but also the adamantly single Beatrice and Benedick.
Following his award-winning productions of “Romeo & Juliet,” “Twelfth Night” and “Antony and Cleopatra,” director Simon Godwin returns with this fresh take on one of William Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies.
