Storyline: As the title of this play suggests, there is a lot of fuss over nothing. Claudio and Hero fall in love and plan to get married. Beatrice and Benedick despise love and engage in comic banter. The others plot to make them all fall in love with each other by a trick in which Benedick will overhear his friends talking of Beatrice's love for him and vice versa. Meanwhile, the villainous Don John slanders Hero with false evidence and the wedding is ruined. Beatrice and Benedick are united in the cause of Hero's revenge. In the end, all is forgiven and both couple are married.
