VE Day Celebration

Much Ado About Nothing

‘I do love nothing in the world so well as you. Is not that strange?’
 
Sun & Moon Theatre are touring the South West this summer with a joyous, emotional and vibrant production of Much Ado About Nothing, one of Shakespeare’s best loved comedies.
 
It's 1945, the war has ended, and Messina’s young men have returned ready for peace, celebration and … romance? Hero and Claudio are in love and engaged to be married, while Beatrice and Benedick are in a perpetual ‘merry war’, engaged in battles of wits and wills. But not everyone has come back unscathed, not all scars are visible, and the spread of misinformation has its consequences ...
 
Suitable for all ages, enjoy a stirring performance of Shakespeare’s boldest and most enduring romantic comedy showcasing a vivacious ensemble, razor-sharp wit, and live music. Suitable for all ages, pack a picnic and/or get treats from Branches Cafe (light lunches, cakes cream teas and other refreshments), bring seats and blankets, and spend a perfect summer's afternoon with family, friends, or solo (including infants and dogs).
 
Sun & Moon Theatre specialise in Shakespeare and are committed to producing accessible, relevant, and entertaining productions of Shakespeare's plays.
