"Much Ado About Nothing" at George Memorial Library
George Memorial Library, 1001 Golfview Drive, Richmond, TX, US"She speaks poniards, and every word stabs."
ABOUT THE EVENT: Fort Bend County Libraries and The Live Oak Playhouse will present the Shakespeare-by=the-Book production of "Much Ado About Nothing," one of the Bard's most enduring romantic comedies.
Per 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 scuppered by the accusations of the villain, Don John. The second, between Claudio's friend Benedick and Hero's cousin Beatrice, takes center stage as the play continues, with both characters' wit and banter providing much of the humor."
Here is the trailer for the 1994 film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbSN4Lv_N4g
More details to come.
The Live Oak Playhouse is a nonprofit community theater in Missouri City, dedicated to presenting
entertaining, thought-provoking arts education to its audiences.The performance will take place at George Memorial Library in Richmond beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the library’s Jodie E. Stavinoha Amphitheater.
