With both comedies set in a modern time frame, audience are treated to two hours of slapstick humour, music and wit. The night opens with Much Ado About Nothing, a play about the battle of wits between headstrong Beatrice and misogynist Benedick. Meanwhile, the jealous brother of Duke Senior tricks Claudio into believing fiancee Hero to be unfaithful. How will everything unfold amidst misunderstandings and stubbornness?

 

After Much Ado came As you Like It. As You Like It, the play first staged by HKSTG in 2010, returns with a full cast and retold the story of cross-dressing Rosalind and her beloved Orlando, aided by other comic characters like Phoebe, Silvius and Jacques. 

​

＜皆大歡喜＞與＜無事生非＞兩部作品的時代框架也改成了現代。觀眾在兩小時內享受到兩場戲的幽默妙趣及動聽的現場音樂。
這個演出由＜無事生非＞開展，之後的＜皆大歡喜＞是本團的重演作。同樣的演員組合再次演出愛情故事，再輔以其他角色陪襯。
