It took Theatre in the Rough six months to bring Much Ado About Nothing to the stage — but for Katie Jensen and Aaron Elmore, it’s been well worth the effort. Jensen and Elmore not only co-direct but play Beatrice and Benedick, two of the leading roles. In this conversation, they provide historical context for the play and give their own interpretations of this Shakespearean favorite.
