In 2008 CFS was delighted to revisit Shakespeare’s comedy, "Much Ado About Nothing."  Since the play is all about spying, we set it in 1973 in Madison, CT.  With the entrance of Watergate and the troubles encountered by returning Vietnam soldiers and feminism gaining ground, audiences enjoyed a fresh look at one of the Bard's most popular romantic comedies.
