But, when false information leads one proud nobleman to cruelly denounce his beloved on their wedding day, the verbal sparring flames into private warfare. As Beatrice and Benedick, Maggie Siff (brilliant as Kate last season in Shrew) and Jonathan Cake (Jason in Medea opposite by William Shakespeare Fiona Shaw) collide in a vivid dance of contrasts. One is Directed by Arin Arbus British, the other American, one sophisticated, the other rough-edged—two former lovers whose intelligence and Please Join Us for Any Performance obstinacy are perfectly matched.
