This delightful tale of the confirmed bachelor, Benedick, and the beautiful but sharp-tongued Beatrice, involves plots and counter-plots to get them wed. Theirs is a rocky romance, but finally Beatrice sighs, ’Ah, Benedick, I will love you. I will permit you to tame my wild heart, soothe my loving hand.’
