從戰爭凱旋歸來的班奈狄克與克勞狄奧又與舊識重逢，燃起了兩段不一樣的愛火：嫺靜溫柔的希羅與克勞狄奧是世人眼中一對神仙眷侶，不料婚禮前夕，希羅遭遇不忠的污蔑，差點被心上人與父親的羞辱逼死。機智善辯的碧翠絲挽救了自己的表妹希羅，但與同樣唇槍舌劍、不願被婚姻所束縛的班奈狄克卻是棋逢敵手。在友人善意的伎倆中，兩人最終放下諷刺高傲的強硬面具，溫柔誠懇相向。

《無事生非》被視為莎士比亞最好的喜劇之一，愛情與婚姻、流言與猜忌、榮譽與恥辱等紛繁複雜的元素被喜劇色彩所包裹。這一次，因執導英國國家劇院《羅密歐與茱麗葉》《第十二夜》《安東尼與克莉奧佩特拉》頗獲讚譽的西蒙·古德溫(Simon Godwin)導演把它帶到了充滿陽光、沙灘和狂歡氣質的義大利。喜劇傳奇凱薩琳·帕金森(Katherine Parkinson)攜手約翰·霍夫曼(John Heffernan)演出歡喜冤家碧翠絲和班奈狄克。迷人的夏日浪漫之旅成全了戀人們，也帶我們探討了兩性之間、社會規約與自我意識之間的角力和共存。
