Description:
Commissioned by Indy Shakes and developed in Partnership with the New Harmony Project, Ado by Lavina Jadhwani is a femme-forward comedic correction of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing,
In Ado, Hero has been falsely accused of infidelity by her fiancé, publicly shamed by her father, and left at the altar on her wedding day. And just when she thinks it can't get worse, her trusted friend Margaret reveals her own role in the events. Will Hero forgive Margaret, and can she even consider forgiving the men who wronged her? And what is this contract of marriage all about, anyway? Inspired by Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, this new comedy gives Hero the voice and agency that Shakespeare didn’t give her.
