The next Improbable Fictions staged reading will be Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, a comedy-sandwich with a tragic condiment. Beatrice and Benedick are in love with life, and there are only two things that they cannot stand: marriage, and each other. Which will prove stronger, wooing or wit? And will the melancholy Don John spoil everyone’s fun?
The showdown begins on Thursday October 7th, 7:30 pm, at the Bama Theatre. Pre-show music begins at 7:00.
Free admission. $1 donations for the Bama Theatre Restoration Fund are appreciated.
