WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute airs a presentation of "Much Ado About Nothing" (2 hours, 30 minutes), a production of London’s National Theatre, on Saturday, Feb. 11 at 1 pm. 

 

The Clark airs the broadcast in its auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.

 

According to a press release:

 

In a fresh take on one of William Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies, this acclaimed production sets the romantic rivalry against the backdrop of the legendary family-run Hotel Messina on the Italian Riviera, a site that has been visited by artists, celebrities, and royals. But when the owner’s daughter weds a dashing young soldier, not all guests are in the mood for love. Scandalous deceptions soon surround not only the young couple, but also the adamantly single Beatrice (Katherine Parkinson) and Benedick (John Heffernan). Simon Godwin directs the comedy.
