    One of Shakespeare’s best comedies, Much Ado About Nothing intertwines honor, shame and court politics with hilarity and multiple marriages. The tale begins with the meeting of Hero, the daughter of a nobleman, and Claudio, a soldier and nobleman. They instantly fall and love and decide to be married. When Claudio is tricked into believing Hero has been unfaithful to him, he publicly accuses her of lechery and abandons her at the altar. Hero and her family pretend she has died of shock and grief until the truth comes out. The villains are finally found and arrested, and everyone learns that Hero is innocent, including Claudio, who grieves for her. As punishment, Hero’s father arranges for Claudio to marry her ‘cousin’. At the wedding it is revealed to Claudio that Hero is his actual bride. Hero’s cousin Beatrice is swept up in the joy and agrees to marry Claudio’s friend Benedick, and everyone has a merry dance.
