Brown Box Theatre Project, Boston’s premiere outdoor Shakespeare touring company, announces its 10th year of free Shakespeare with the troupe’s largest tour to date! After a 2020 postponement, Brown Box returns in 2021 with an extended U.S. tour featuring the comedy Much Ado About Nothing. Under the direction of Executive Artistic Director and Co-Founder Kyler Taustin, Brown Box will tour Shakespeare’s beloved comedy of trickery, jealousy, deceit, and masquerade for 10 weeks to 3 regions across the country.
About Much Ado About Nothing:
“Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.”
Upon their return from war, a group of soldiers are reminded that life and love are not so black and white. Trickery, jealousy, deceit, and masquerade each play a role in challenging Benedict and Beatrice’s scorn for love (and each other) as well as the seemingly unassailable love of Claudio and Hero. Through witty banter and dastardly deception, Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, Much Ado About Nothing debates the preconceived notion of how to love and the value of trust.
Much Ado About Nothing will be fully staged in each location, and will feature professional artists, designers, and actors including: Debbie Aboaba as “HERO”, Margaret Clark as “BEATRICE”, Drew Cleveland as “DON JOHN”, Abuzar Farrukh as “BORACHIO”, Christopher Ho as “CLAUDIO”, Lorraine Kanyike as “LEONATA”, Emma Meyerson as “MARGARET”, Francis Xavier Norton as “DOGBERRY”, Spencer Parli Tew as “DON PEDRO”, and Cam Torres as ‘BENEDICK”.
All Much Ado About Nothing performances are free, outdoors, and open to all audiences; no tickets are needed. Social distancing through lawn seating, blankets and lawn chairs are welcome.
