Bedlam has been doing stripped-down interpretations of the classics since its inception, so a Zoomed Shakespeare reading should be mother's milk to it. As for this play, all I can say is this: so enchanted was I by the character of Beatrice that I married the closest IRL cognate I could find (RIP). In keeping with its Memorial Day scheduling, this performance is a benefit for this company's Veterans' programs.
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Sigh no more, ladies. Let's all have a Maiden's Blush No. 2: pour 1-1/2 oz. Gin, 3/4 oz. Absinthe, and 1 teaspoon of Grenadine into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Stir. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe. (Those maidens had best be blushing if they're drinking something this strong!)
