Shakespeare on the Sound Presents an Overview of “Much Ado About Nothing”
Join us for an overview of Shakespeare on the Sound’s 30th anniversary production of Much Ado About Nothing on Monday, June 1, at 7 pm, in our Program Room, Radcliffe Building, Perrot Memorial Library. John Love, former Shakespeare on the Sound board member will provide the overview.
In 1996 a group of Rowayton residents came up with a bold idea: producing a full-length version of a play by William Shakespeare, with professional actors and production values. It was Rowayton’s own Shakespeare in the Park—Pinkney Park. For their inaugural production the board chose Shakespeare’s festive comedy Much Ado About Nothing. For our 30thanniversary production we are bringing Much Ado About Nothing back to the Park.
Former Shakespeare On The Sound board member John Love first came to Perrot Library in May 2023 to talk about Romeo and Juliet, that summer’s production, and he came back last spring to talk about Macbeth. After 40 years as a classroom teacher John is glad of the chance to talk about his favorite Shakespeare play–Much Ado.

Shakespeare on the Sound is committed to producing affordable, professional open-air productions of the plays of William Shakespeare and related authors in Fairfield County. Working in collaboration with area civic, business and educational institutions, Shakespeare on the Sound presents an annual theatre festival, which brings great dramatic works to a broad audience, creating a forum for learning, appreciation and celebration. Our educational programming goal is to build community through the arts, giving the works of Shakespeare a vibrant life beyond the summer festival with a variety of school, library, adult education, and art programs as a means to reach a diverse cross-section of people of all ages and economic backgrounds.
