Much Ado About Nothing (2017)

“Don’t be fooled by the casual park setting, this is a professional production with top notch actors. […] Shakespeare-in-the-Park is truly a must see Montreal event during [the] summer”
– Toula Drimonis, Daily Hive

Repercussion Theatre presents Shakespeare’s tragic romantic comedy, Much Ado About Nothing. The characters in this dark love story learn that real love requires unmasked vulnerability. Featuring a wonderful cast of 11 actors, a blend of playfulness and pathos, and a dynamic design.
