Bard in the Ballroom
Much (Less) Ado About Nothing
March 23 -April 8, 2017
Victoria’s Launch Pad Theatre Company has hatched a pocket-sized adaptation, Much (Less) Ado
About Nothing, that works awfully well. The snappy script is trimmed judiciously from two hours to
one. The performances are fresh and vivacious. Perhaps less is indeed more — this is a fun, smart,
even exhilarating night at the theatre.

Partners on and off stage, Radford and Patterson light up a room with their antics—they are charming,
opinionated, shrewd and fit for the task at hand.
