Write-up for play, Much Ado About Nothing
She loves him; she loves him not; she loves him ...
He loves her; he loves her not; he loves her ...
Love and war, war and peace...while Beatrice and Benedick wage their merry war of wits, Claudio and Hero set a trap of love for their friends...only to see themselves fall into a very different and deadly kind of lover’s trap.
