Celebrate Shakespeare Week with this free screening of the National Theatre's Much Ado About Nothing, set on the Italian Riviera!
About this Event

Join us for a free screening of Much Ado About Nothing (dir Simon Goodwin) in celebration of Shakespeare Week!

Escape to the Italian Riviera with a cast including Katherine Parkinson (Home, I’m Darling, The IT Crowd) and John Heffernan (Dracula, She Stoops to Conquer). Since the 1930s, the legendary family-run Hotel Messina has been visited by artists, celebrities and royalty. When the current owner’s daughter falls for a dashing young soldier, the hallways are ringing with the sound of wedding bells. However, not all the guests are in the mood for love, and a string of deceptions soon surround not only the young couple, but also the steadfastly single Beatrice and Benedick.

Please note: This is a screening of a recorded event, not a live performance.
This event is made possible by the Free and all welcome but booking recommended.
This event takes place on the third floor of Cambridge Central Library, which is wheelchair accessible.

There is a baby change and accessible toilet on site.

There are padded chairs.

There's blue badge holder parking at the Grand Arcade parking.
