Much Ado About Nothing


The summer of 2023 saw me take on the role of Benedick for the Teatro del Cigno production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. Benedick’s journey to give in to love is full of twists and tribulations, but it is a remarkably fun, witty, and passionate one. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions that takes the audience on a ride throughout the entire play.
