Theatre Georgian Bay presents: Bard on the Bay 2024: Much Ado About Nothing – Shakespeare’s most popular comedy presented outdoors at the Collingwood Shipyards Amphitheatre in a 90 minute, family-friendly format.
In this romantic comedy, Beatrice and Benedick have both sworn never to fall in love, especially not with each other! Their battles of wits never fail to entertain, but their friends cannot resist the challenge of their declarations of mutual disdain and hatch a plot to make them fall “into a mountain of affection the one with the other.” No sooner has this scheme been enacted, however, when more serious problems arise: Evil forces have hatched a darker plot – to thwart the marriage of Beatrice and Benedicks’ dearest friends, young Hero and Claudio. In Shakespeare’s most-produced comedy, Much Ado About Nothing, loyalties are challenged, love is tested, and bumbling officials accidentally save the day! But, in the end, only true honesty can overcome the obstacles to love.
The Amphitheatre is located at the foot of Maple St. North (parking at the foot of Birch St. North) Dress for the weather and BYO cushion, chair or blanket. And, enjoy yummy treats from the Collingwood Ice Cream Company! Pay-What-You-Will admission (Suggested Donation: $20. per person.)
