DENTON (UNT), Texas – One of the world's oldest established touring Shakespearean theater companies comes to the University of North Texas for a residency with the Department of English and two performances of the great bard's Much Ado About Nothing.

Actors from the London Stage will work with students from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1, helping them examine Shakespearean scenes and performing and leading students in analyzing and speaking verse. As part of the residency, the group will also hold two public performances of Much Ado About Nothing at 8 p.m. on both Oct. 28 (Tuesday) and Nov. 1 (Saturday).
