Running in several New York City parks on 7/24, 7/25, 7/30, 7/31, and 8/1, Much Ado is Shakespeare’s classic tale of love, laughter, and even a bit of treachery (both good-natured and sinister).  Join us at the luxurious “Club Messina”, and watch as Claudio woos Hero, Beatrice spars with Benedick, and all the while Donna Joan plots revenge on the Prince and his companions.  Listen to the melodious strumming of The Friar, and lounge on the sun deck with a boat drink and a bottle of suntan lotion – but remember, no running by the pool.
