Actors From The London Stage, the renowned 5-actor touring group, returns in January 2022 with a brand new staging of Much Ado About Nothing, Shakespeare's ever-popular romantic comedy.
This delightful romp deftly explores notions of identity, marriage, and communication through the sparring between Benedick and Beatrice, two of Shakespeare’s most gloriously realized characters. With its piquant blend of prickly banter, mistaken identities, and swoon-worthy romance, Much Ado About Nothing is sheer theatrical delight.
AFTLS kicks off their spring 2022 tour of Much Ado with 3 performances at Notre Dame's historic Washington Hall, January 26, 27, and 28, 2022. Tickets are available now at shakespeare.nd.edu. AFTLS's spring 2022 tour includes stops in Pennsylvania, Alabama, Colorado, Vermont, and more.
With 5 actors performing the entire play, each performing multiple roles, Much Ado About Nothing heralds the triumphant return of one of Notre Dame's most celebrated performing groups. This year's cast includes AFTLS veterans Chris Donnelly, Katherine Newman, and William Donaldson, alongside newcomers Annabelle Terry and Thomas Richardson.
