The original romantic comedy
Derek Bond directs what is widely regarded as Shakespeare’s most loved comedy, with a cast of 12 actor-musicians in this vibrant, passionate and profoundly moving production with a glorious original score.
“Nothing short of PHENOMENAL…one of the best interpretations of Much Ado About Nothing that you are likely to see”– Time Out
“A gloriously entertaining performance” – What’s On
Everyone knows Beatrice and Benedick are perfect for each other. Everyone, that is, except Beatrice and Benedick… they are content to outwit and belittle each other at every opportunity.
As friends and family gather for the wedding of Claudio and Hero, two simultaneous plots emerge. The first, a sinister attempt by Don John to destroy the impending marriage. The second, a hilarious attempt to bring Beatrice and Benedick together at last!
“The company brings its own contemporary and musical twist, making for a gloriously entertaining performance from start to finish. The story, which has touched millions with its elements of passion, penance, forgiveness and love, has been updated to offer a vibrant, funny and profoundly moving production” – What’sOn
