Much Ado About Nothing

So no one told you life was gonna be this way...

​

This summer, grab a coffee, pull up a chair, and prepare to laugh your way through love, lies, and lattes. Constellation Players present a fresh take on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, reimagined through the lens of the iconic 90s sitcom Friends.

​

Set in Leonato’s café, this modern retelling follows six close-knit companions whose romantic entanglements and clever deceptions play out with wit, warmth, and a generous helping of chaos. Claudio and Hero are hopelessly in love, Beatrice and Benedick are hopelessly at war, and Margaret and Don Pedro are—well—hopelessly meddling.

​

But this isn’t Much Ado as you know it.

​

What if Margaret was the mastermind behind the downfall of Don Pedro? What if Hero herself crafted the scheme to fake her death? And what if Shakespeare’s sharpest comedy was told through the heartbeat of a modern rom-com?
