About

“You and I are too wise to woo peaceably.” For drag king Benny Dick and nightclub femmecee Beatrice, love is a real drag. Adapted by and co-produced with Jo Jo Stiletto, Noveltease Theatre’s production of Much Ado About Nothing reimagines the play in the context of queer nightlife in post-Stonewall Seattle in a production filled with witty banter, disco music, and pure queer joy, directed by Verity Germaine and choreographed by Fosse Jack and Flossy Beatrice.
