We invite you to the shores of Sicily for the intrigue, drama, wit and wisdom of "Much Ado About Nothing".
It's the 1960s, and change is in the air ... on a sun-drenched island steeped in tradition, the old order is about to be shaken up by a new spirit of liberation, as our thoroughly modern heroine, Beatrice, determines not to be "overmastered". With original music inspired by everything from Sicilian Tarantella to 1960s Italian pop, this bold production of one of Shakespeare's best loved comedies is not to be missed.
2hr. Incl. 15min interval.
Ages 8+.

In cases of heavy rain, it may be necessary to halt the performance for a short period. In the unlikely circumstance of extreme weather (including extreme heat), the performance may be postponed until a further date.
