What is Much Ado About Nothing about?

In Messina, quick-witted Beatrice and sharp-tongued Benedick insist they will never fall in love, yet their friends secretly plot to bring them together. Meanwhile, young Claudio and Hero are preparing to marry until the scheming Don John spreads a cruel lie. As misunderstandings, disguises and overheard conversations cause chaos, the truth must be uncovered before love, friendship and honour are lost. Andrew Matthews retells Shakespeare’s lively comedy in clear, accessible language for younger readers.
