Much Ado About Nothing - Free Shakespeare in the Park

Pittsfield Shakespeare in the Park returns to the First Street Common for the 2019 season with MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

Featuring the famously witty on-again-off-again lovers Beatrice and Benedick, Much Ado About Nothing is the story of the trials of love in a society dominated by patriarchal traditions. Beatrice’s cousin Hero and the young soldier Claudio meet and fall in love, but when a man spreads nasty rumors about her, Hero’s voice is silenced and their relationship torn apart. Loyalties are tested as the community responds, including a ragtag group of officers who just might save the day.

Bring a blanket & picnic, and enjoy summer in Pittsfield
