BardWired: Much Ado About Nothing at Asolo Repertory Theatre
Adapted & Directed by Gaby Rodriguez
Asolo Rep and the FSU/Asolo Conservatory are bringing you the next generation of Shakespeare with BardWired: Much Ado About Nothing. In this 45-min. innovative adaptation experience the Bard like never before--as part of a neighborhood block party!
While their soldiers have been away at war, the community of Messina has learned to lean on each other for support. The intrepid (and self-appointed) Neighborhood Watch are young scouts, led by troupe leader Dogberry--and scout surveillance is at high alert. As the neighborhood’s war heroes Benedick, Claudio, and Don Pedro return home, they have to renegotiate their place on the block. While young Hero and Claudio immediately fall in love, quick witted Benedick and Beatrice need a matchmaker’s push, but their love and re-integration into Messina are jeopardized by dastardly Don John’s villainous machinations. Fall in love with this uproarious, witty, and charming story, designed for audiences of all ages.
