Much Ado About Nothing at

'Timothy Sheader's second season...gets off to a cracking start with this charming and crowd-pleasing account of Shakespeare's wittiest comedy' The Guardian.

"I would rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me"

War-weary heroes return to their Mediterranean home, but now sparks fly as a different battle commences. Will love triumph?

Starring Shakespeare's most reluctant lovers, Much Ado is a joyous, wise-cracking comedy of love, honour and second chances.

Please Note: there will be a captioned performance on the 16th June.
