The Prenzie Players" rough-and-tumble production of Shakespeare"s "Much Ado About Nothing" at the Village Theater, Davenport, is theater-in-the-round, a more conventional format than they usually choose.
Directed by Stephanie Burrough, it played to a full house opening night.

It happens to by my favorite work by William Shakespeare, so my expectations for “Much Ado About Nothing” are high.

With the current Much Ado About Nothing, I've now attended 10 presentations by the classical-theatre troupe the Prenzie Players, and perhaps fittingly, it's maybe the most sheerly Prenzie Prenzie production I've yet seen.

The group’s latest, “Much Ado About Nothing,” only goes to reinforce that notion.
