BEATRICE AND OTHERS |
Male or Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 18 - 45 Beatrice is the niece of Leonato, a wealthy governor of Messina. Beatrice is feisty, cynical, witty, and sharp. Beatrice keeps up a “merry war” of wits with Benedick, a lord and soldier from Padua. The play suggests that she was once in love with Benedick but that he led her on and their relationship ended. Now when they meet, the two constantly compete to outdo one another with clever insults. Although she appears hardened and sharp, Beatrice is really vulnerable. Required Media: Headshot/Photo
BENEDICK AND OTHERS |
Male or Female | Any Ethnicity | Age: 18 - 50 An aristocratic soldier who has recently been fighting under Don Pedro, and a friend of Don Pedro and Claudio. Benedick is very witty, always making jokes and puns. He carries on a “merry war” of wits with Beatrice, but at the beginning of the play he swears he will never fall in love or marry.

He is the most politically and socially powerful character in the play. Required Media: Headshot/Photo
