Much Ado About Nothing
Much Ado About Nothing is an energetic romp where the spirit of rock’n’roll is moulded into one of the Bard’s most entertaining plays. Bold, cheeky, courageous and self-effacing; this battle of the sexes rom-com takes flight in a version unlike any you’ve seen before!
Drawing on pop music, rock imagery and sitcom; the result is not so much a play-within-a-play, as a play within a rock concert. Packed full of pop & rock music, this musical production is wonderfully romantic, hilariously funny and truly rocks along! With ingenious musical inventiveness and textual editing and the combination of classical & contemporary wit, this show will not disappoint!
Enjoy the summer tradition of Shakespeare Under the Stars and as the sun goes down, sit back, pop the cork and revel in this feel-good story where everyone lives happily ever after
Presented by The Australian Shakespeare Company.
