Much Ado About Nothing
25th Richmond Shakespearean Festival at Agecroft Hall
06.2024
Richmond Shakespeare Festival at Agecroft Hall kicked off with “Much Ado About Nothing.” Masquerades reveal as much as they hide in this hilarious comedy. There is no comedic couple quite as beguiling as Beatrice and Benedick. Wielding words as both weapon and armor (but always with a charming, effervescent glint), their banter is code for so many things - part longing, part loathing, part love. Directed by Shanea N. Taylor. Runs through June 23.
The second and final show of the Richmond Shakespeare Festival is Christopher Marlowe's “Doctor Faustus.” A brilliant but embittered academic, Faustus is a solitary scholar who has exhausted the confines of human knowledge. Risking everything, he conjures the demon Mephistophilis and asks him to strike a deal with Lucifer. Directed by James Ricks, this show runs from July 4 through July 21.
