Viel Lärm um Nichts

In the organizer's words:

Much ado about nothing

By William Shakespeare

In idyllic Messina, where Duke Leonato receives the two war heroes Claudio and Benedick, a masked ball sparks a veritable love chaos in which no one knows who can trust whom and why they actually love whom. The sharp-tongued Beatrice and the eloquent Benedick engage in witty battles of words, while Hero and Claudio are threatened by jealous intrigues. Love is always born before the eyes of the others and is arranged by hearsay and rumors. Is it still possible to find happiness in togetherness these days? What role do the public and society play in our love relationships?

The themes of love, jealousy, misunderstandings and the art of deception take center stage, but also the question: Is it still acceptable to make noise for personal happiness?
"Much Ado About Nothing" is a colorful comedy that has it all. It hits the raw nerve between men who are supposedly from Mars and women who are from Venus. Or is it not true at all?
