Much Ado About Nothing

Everybody lies. Everybody meddles. Everybody falls in love and pretends they haven't. Welcome to Messina.

At the centre of it all are Beatrice and Benedick, two people who would rather argue than admit they're mad about each other. They're funny, they're fierce, and they're fooling nobody. Meanwhile, the people around them are making an entirely different kind of mess, the sort where rumour gets mistaken for truth and everything starts to unravel.

It sounds like a comedy. It is a comedy. But Shakespeare has a habit of sliding something real in when you're not looking, and this play is no exception.

We are thrilled to be bringing this production to the stage and look forward to sharing it with you.
