Set in an Italian villa, Much Ado About Nothing follows Claudio’s courtship of the governor’s daughter, Hero, and their wedding plans.

Meanwhile, ostensible rivals and bantering partners Benedick and Beatrice are tricked into admitting their feelings for each other by their impish compatriots. And Claudio is deceived into believing that his paramour Hero has been unfaithful to him.

The two couples eventually come to an understanding, but in the interim a variety of comical deceits and hilarious misunderstandings ensue.

William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing epitomizes the playwright's sublime talent for situational comedy. Written in 1598-99, this comedy is full to the brim with romantic double-crossing and barbed repartee. As such, it remains among his best-loved plays.

The short story contains many powerful themes, such as language, which is used to maintain social roles; trickery, which is used to make Beatrice and Benedick fall in love and to try and block Hero’s marriage; and honor, which is used to represent Hero’s reputation and manhood to stand up for those wronged.
