Lexington High School Players Present Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing
The Lexington High School players present William Shakespeare’s witty, energetic comedy, Much Ado About Nothing, a play that explores love, loyalty, deception, and gender equality. The production, directed by drama teacher, Jillian Singer-Wong, reflects the play’s universal appeal by combining elements of contemporary life with those inspired by life in 1890s Italy, a time of rising feminism. (In fact, the first woman to become a medical doctor in Italy received her degree in this era.) The public is invited to join the cast of 20 student performers and 20 crew members for a spirited performance of one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies. Tickets available at the door are $10 for adults, $5 for students and seniors.
