Review: Lauren Gunderson’s ‘Lady Disdain’ Premieres at Asolo Repertory Theatre

'LADY DISDAIN', the Rolling World Premiere, by Lauren Gunderson is a romantic comedy play that cleverly infuses a modern and feminist twist into Shakespeare's classic 'Much Ado About Nothing.' The setting is a vibrant audio book recording studio, where the delightful drama unfolds between the feuding narrators Bea and Ben. What starts as a clash of egos slowly evolves into a heartwarming enemies-to-lovers story full of witty banter.
