Celebrate Shakespeare’s 450th birthday with a free screening of Joss Whedon’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing,’ a modern retelling about two pairs of lovers with different takes on romance and a clever way with words. The free outdoor event will take place on Saturday, April 26, 2014 at 8 p.m. along the lawn of Loch Haven Park, at the corner of Mills Avenue and Princeton Street.
The Bard’s beloved comedy comes to life in this black and white masterpiece that the Chicago Sun-Times calls “swanky, sexy, and sophisticated, as bracing as a dry martini poured from a silver shaker on a summer night.” Much Ado About Nothing runs 109 minutes and is rated PG-13 for some sexuality and brief drug use.
Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring their own picnic and blankets; no chair rentals or concessions will be available.
