OVERVIEW

Ready, steady, go! There is much ado about everything when the Quartos come to town. These four lads from Liverpool arrive to wow and woo the ladies of London, but in true fashion, true love makes fools of them all. Grammy Award winning Green Day front man Billie Joe Armstrong, Pulitzer Prize finalist Rolin Jones and acclaimed director Jackson Gay riff on Shakespeare’s randy tale–with a serious backbeat.
