Love. Deceit. Soirées. Shakespeare.
Step into the roaring ’20s filled with love, deceit, and soirées, for Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing.
Against a backdrop of the 1920s highlife, follow four lovers and their blooming relationship as they try to overcome bitter rivalries and life-threatening gossip.
After returning from the war, Count Claudio falls in love with Hero, his host’s daughter. Meanwhile, Beatrice and Benedick exchange cutting words in a game of wit. While the former pair’s relationship grows, Beatrice and Benedick are duped into thinking the other loves them.
But Claudio and Hero’s relationship isn’t safe from deception either. A cunning plot by the nefarious Don John seeks to tear their budding romance apart, bringing Hero’s reputation down with it.
Dust off your masquerade masks and be our esteemed guest for this journey. With extravagant soirées, a host of quips and jabs, and a game of social deception, there’s something for everyone in this take on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing.
