“Catch Flights, Not Feelings”
Don P and the Aragon boys—Benedick and Claudio—hit Messina, the ultimate party island, thanks to an invite from promoter Leon. Unknown to Leon, his sister Hero and fiery cousin Beatrice are also there. When Claudio locks eyes with Hero, he falls fast, but without any “game,” he needs Don P’s help to win her over. Meanwhile, Don P’s jealous half-brother DJ hatches a plan to trick Claudio into thinking Hero’s unfaithful, leading to chaos.
At the same time, Don P, convinced that Benedick and Beatrice secretly have feelings, sets up a scheme to bring them together. Is it “Much Ado About Nothing”? Not even close.
Will Claudio win Hero’s heart? Can DJ ruin the romance? And will Benedick and Beatrice finally connect?
Get ready for sun, sea, and social drama in Messina!
Directed by Nana Antwi and written by Darren Raymond.
Darren Raymond shares, “I wrote Much Ado About Nothing Remixed because remixing Shakespeare is my thing. The world has moved on since the Elizabethan days, but some outdated views still linger. This remix explores love, deception, misogyny, and gender through the lens of young Londoners today.”
