Shakespeare invented the genre of screwball comedy (complete with witty lovers who cannot live with or without each other) and this romantic comedy is filled with some of his most memorable comic characters. As the wedding of Hero and Claudio approaches, Beatrice and Benedick are maneuvered into thinking that each loves the other. Complications arise when Don Pedro’s evil brother convinces the groom that the bride has been unfaithful. The lovers eventually unite in this play about eavesdropping, deception and forgiveness.
