By William Shakespeare
I would rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me
War-weary heroes return to their Mediterranean home, but now sparks fly as a different battle commences. Will love triumph?
Starring Shakespeare's most reluctant lovers, Much Ado is a joyous, wise-cracking comedy of love, honour and second chances.
