Much Ado About Nothing will be staged in a science fiction/dystopian society after an outbreak of a deadly and fast acting disease decimated the population. The remaining populous was destined for war, famine, and struggles for power. Out of this rose two sociopolitical groups: The Moralists & The Revolutionists. What follows is a game of chess between brothers, a battle of the heart between lovers, and a world of excess and hedonism vs. structure and logic.

Seeking all actors of all ages and ranges. The roles of Beatrice, Benedick, Claudio, & Leonato have already been cast.
