The Show
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.
