Messina’s soldiers have returned from victory abroad to discover new battles at home! Sworn bachelor Benedick and his fiery counterpart Beatrice engage in a war of words and wit while their friends watch their attraction grow stronger with every skirmish. Meanwhile, Claudio plans to wed his true love Hero, unaware of the villainous Don John’s desire to foil his plans.
In this Original Practices production, Chris starred as one of Shakespeare’s sharpest-tongued women, Beatrice.
Will these battles end in victory? This exciting production had all the answers — and a whole lot more — featuring the same actors who played these parts in Elizabeth Rex.
