Events Description
They Say is Full Circle Theatre’s brand new, Bridgerton-inspired prequel to Much Ado About Nothing. Set before Beatrice and Benedick became Shakespeare’s most famously combative almost-lovers turned lovers, this original romantic drama imagines their first courtship, the pressures of reputation and favour, and the choices that helped shape the people we meet in Messina in the Shakespearean classic. Gossip, desire, social maneuvering, old wounds, and one very important question – who is Lady Goodword? They Say is a sexy, witty love story about who gets to tell the story and who pays the cost.
