As part of the 2009 Season of the Arizona Shakespeare Festival, Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village in Sedona, Arizona is pleased to host two FREE performances of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, Sunday, August 30th at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. There are no tickets for this event - it is a first come, first serve production.Produced by the Arizona Classical Theater from Prescott, Arizona, Shakespeare’s romantic comedy, set in Messina, Sicily, concerns a pair of lovers named Claudio and Hero who are due to be married in a week. To pass the time before their wedding day, they conspire with Don Pedro, the Prince of Aragon, to trick their friends, Beatrice and Benedick, into confessing their love for one another. The prince's illegitimate brother, Don John, however, jealous of both Don Pedro's power and his affection for Claudio, plans to sabotage the coming wedding. It is hilarious and farcical in the best tradition of Shakespeare comedy. Tlaquepaque has a long history of hosting plays by the famous bard. The physical layout at Tlaquepaque with its vine covered parapet walls, large balconies and stone courtyards is the perfect setting to take one back to the time of Shakespeare.
