Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing is one of the most beloved romantic comedies in the English language, combining wit, deception, love and laughter in equal measure. Set in the lively town of Messina, the story follows the sparring relationship of Beatrice and Benedick, whose sharptongued exchanges conceal a deeper affection, while the young lovers Hero and Claudio navigate a series of misunderstandings that threaten their happiness.

Through mistaken identities, overheard conversations and playful schemes, Shakespeare explores the complexities of love, trust and human pride. This version of Much Ado About Nothing will be a queer spin on the classic that audiences know and love, in tribute to the world that the Bard himself inhabited. The play will include fun elements of physical theatre, be filled with memorable characters, sparkling dialogue and moments of both comedy and emotion.
