Aaron Young, managing director of The Great River Shakespeare Festival, discusses their summer productions of “Hamlet” and “Much Ado About Nothing.” Both plays are presented in modern dress to highlight their relevance to contemporary life. “Hamlet” explores themes of truth and decision-making, resonating with today’s media consumption challenges. “Much Ado About Nothing” is staged as a community block party, with children playing the watch to emphasize how often overlooked observers understand community dynamics. Tickets are available online or through the box office, with various accessibility programs offered.
