Love Conquers All Defense Mechanisms
For Beatrice and Benedict, wit is a full-contact sport, and each is happy to throw some elbows. But wethinks they doth protest too much. It seems love is a force they believe they’re above, even as their friends see through their comedic camouflage to what hides in their hearts. Sometimes a stubborn soul just needs that proverbial kick in the pantaloons to get out of their own way. Fun and funny, with the warmth and depth of a sultry Mediterranean sunset, offering a central couple that set the standard for rom‑coms – a perfect fit for a summer evening. Running June 14 - September 29.
Featuring Jessica Ko, Marcus Truschinski, Rasell Holt, Sam Luis Massaro, Samantha Newcomb, Greta Oglesby, Miranda Pepin, Lester Purry, Briana J. Resa, Ronald Román-Meléndez, James Ridge, Triney Sandoval
Summary
The original will-they-won’t-they couple returns to the Hill Stage. Not only are Beatrice and Benedick content with their singleton status, it is their defining feature. Well, that and their piercing wit, which they put on hilarious display whenever they share space. One thing they can agree on is a fine match between their protégés, Hero and Claudio. But the course of true love never did run smooth, and there are storm clouds brewing on the horizon as Don John cooks up a wicked plan for revenge against his half-brother, Don Pedro. Will all be righted in the end? Find out in one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies.
