In Shakespeare's cherished comedy, love, wit, and mischief entwine, and the results are hilarious and heart-aching in this timeless battle-of-the-sexes.

Fresh from victory, the prince's army returns home, stirring the air with romance for the tender Claudio and Hero and an unparalleled battle of wits between Beatrice and Benedick. But laughter gives way to intrigue, as accusations fly and truths emerge in a mischievous game that may lead to heartbreak. Will truth and love win in this timeless Shakespearean favorite?

By William Shakespeare
