Valley Park - Program Room A/B

Join us for our annual Stratford Festival Lecture Series.

McMaster University Professor of English and Cultural Studies, Dr. Melinda Gough discusses Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. The play explores the underlying social tensions of changing attitudes toward marriage and power in the early Modern world. The story follows Beatrice and Benedick, two quick-witted and sarcastic individuals who are happily single, but whose friends believe they would make a great romantic match. A partnership with Stratford Festival, visit stratfordfestival.ca for this season's playbill.
