Following the success of our all-women production of Julius Caesar last spring, Project Nongenue is creating a poignant, clever and nuanced production of Shakespeares Much Ado About Nothing. At Project Nongenue, we believe in theater that creates a sense of civic responsibility and dissent, creating our work with the intention of starting conversations about power and privilege. This production will be heavily influenced by our current political moment - in light of the #metoo movement, we are very interested in examining when and how women's stories are believed and the cultural phenomenon of scrutinizing women's experiences regarding sexuality and sexual violence.
Project Nongenues goal working with classical theater in this time is to create new and meaningful productions with enduring text; we believe that by reinterpreting and reinvigorating the words of one of Shakespeare's most mature, hysterical and romantic comedies, we will create an entirely different, necessary and new production of Much Ado About Nothing. Through the production, we are interested in exploring three major areas of creative development and research: the intersection of gender and power in family and relationship dynamics, the role and responsibility of the audience members as bystanders, and finally, the utility of Shakespeare and classical theater to a modern audience.
We are so excited to share this important and relevant theatrical production with you!
