Much Ado About Nothing at the Gene Frankel Theatre

Wide Eyed Productions presents Much Ado About Nothing, by William Shakespeare, at the Gene Frankel Theatre from 21 Feb - 16 Mar 2008.

Much Ado About Nothing: Set in the heart of New York's trendiest neighborhood, and guess what, it feels right at home. Welcome to Cafe Messina, the hippest java joint in Willy-B, where you'll meet a barista named Beatrice who swears never to love a man. Queue the Indian door chimes, and enter Benedick. Just back from a big win the kickball championships on the west coast. Sparks fly as their friends attempt to couple these old foes. Is it a love-lost cause, or a match made in hipster-heaven?

Directed by Kristin Skye Hoffmann, Much Ado About Nothing features Lea McKenna-Garcia, Brian Floyd, Justin Ness, Lauren Bahlman, Trevor Dallier, Sky Seals, Andrew Harriss, Scott Voloshin, Sage Seals, Danny Gardner, Vanessa Gibens, Jerrod Bogard, Paul Basile, Kym Smith, Brianne Mai, Anthony Reimer, Nick Basile, Devin Moriarty and Melissa Johnson.

The creative team comprises Eleni Koutsouradis (costumes) and Jeremy Pape (lighting).
