Much Ado About Nothing

‘I do love nothing in the world so well as you. Is not that strange?’
Sun & Moon Theatre returns to Penlee Park Open Air Theatre this summer with a joyous, 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 …
Join us for this hilarious, bold, and bittersweet show featuring love, deception, confrontations, and second chances. Suitable for all ages, enjoy a perfect summer’s night with Shakespeare’s most enduring romantic comedy showcasing a vivacious ensemble, razor-sharp wit, and live music.
This production of Much Ado About Nothing was granted the Cymbeline Award when originally staged and Sun & Moon Theatre are delighted to be showcasing it on tour in 2022!
