The Rustic Mechanicals Screaming Hearts Tour brings the troupe’s production of William Shakespeare’s MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING to West Virginia Wesleyan College, with FREE admission!

In Messina, a group of soldiers returns from the trenches. The world weary Benedick and his friend Claudio find themselves reacquainted with Beatrice and Hero. As memories of conflict give way to a life of parties and masked balls, Claudio and Hero fall madly, deeply in love, while Benedick and Beatrice reignite their own rather more combative courtship. Shakespeare’s comic romance plays out amidst the brittle high spirits of a post-war house party, as youthful passions run riot, lovers are deceived and happiness is threatened before peace ultimately wins out.

Directed by Jim Warren, alongside Intimacy Director Jessica Morgan, Voice & Text Coach Bridget Rue Esterhuizen, and Movement Coach Tommy Schoffler, the production features Technical Direction by David Byard, Costume Design by Jason A Young, Hair & Make-Up Design by Samantha Huffman, and Dramaturgy from John S. Shirley. The Mechanicals featured in the production include Josh Brooks, Niki DeWitt, Clarence Finn, Nicole Davis, Sean Marko, Jim Matthews, Jason A Young, Sarah Young, Justin Allan, and Justin Grow.
