Vallejo Shakespeare in the Park will present Much Ado About Nothing.

This show at the Msrina Pavilion in Benicia is FREE!

Our shows are picnic style seating. Bring a blanket to sit on or a low beach chair and a picnic to enjoy during the show. Seating is first come – first served. Pre-packaged snacks, water, soft drinks, beer and wine are available for sale at the Vallejo Shakespeare concessions along with some nifty souvenirs.

After returning home triumphant from war, Duke Don Pedro, visit his friend Leonato, Governor of Messina, along with friends and fellow soldiers Count Claudio and Benedick. During their visit young Claudio and Leonato’s daughter, Hero, fall in love and pledge to marry, while Hero’s cousin, Lady Beatrice, who has sworn off marriage, and confirmed bachelor Benedick, insist they have no romantic interest in each other.  Bent on sabotage, the Duke’s half-sibling, Don Jon plays a trick on Claudio causing him to call off the wedding, leading to the supposed tragic death of the lovelorn Hero, a ruse by the household to prove her innocence to Claudio.  The household also takes on the challenge of convincing Lady Beatrice and Benedick they love each other, in a story of unrequited love, wit and Much Ado About Nothing.
