Faction of Fools presents: “Much Ado About Nothing” by William Shakespeare
There are times when a production takes you into the essence of a Shakespeare play and effects a transformation. The emotion beneath the well-known words becomes clear in an entirely new way. That is what happens in Faction of Fools’ Much Ado About Nothing. Director Natalie Cutcher and her merry band of artists bring us a Much Ado that is both passionate and comic. Shakespeare and Commedia dell’arte, like Beatrice and Benedick, turn out to be a match made in heaven.
Much Ado About Nothing plays through May 2, 2026, presented by Faction of Fools Theatre Company performing in the black box theater inside the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop at 545 7th Street SE, Washington, DC. Tickets are on a sliding scale ($27, market rate; $37, “pay it forward”; $17, lower income/child) and can be purchased at the door and online.
Family-friendly, contains some PG-13 humor.
