Much Ado About Nothing is a timeless play about love, scandal and gossip.

After a victorious battle, Don Pedro and his friends decide to stay at Leoneta’s house. A young Florentine called Claudio immediately falls in love with Hero, his host’s daughter, while his friend Benedick engages in a battle of the wits with Hero’s cousin Beatrice. Claudio and Hero conspire with Leoneta and Don Pedro to get Benedick and Beatrice to fall madly in love with each other. Will they succeed? Or will the mischievous Don John and his henchman throw a wrench in their plan?

The play was directed by Davina Procter and produced by Sophie Boekweg. It was performed on 4th, 5th, and 6th of March 2026 at the USVA.
