Much Ado About Nothing (Lincoln Center Theatre) Classification: COMEDY
[Running Time: 2:14:14]
From Wikipedia: The play is set in Messina and revolves around two romantic pairings that emerge when a group of soldiers arrive in the town. The first, between Claudio and Hero, is nearly altered by the accusations of the villain, Don John. The second romance, between Claudio’s friend Benedick and Hero’s cousin Beatrice, takes centre stage as the play goes on, with both characters’ wit and banter providing much of the humour.
