Join The Lord Chamberlain’s Men this summer for Shakespeare’s sparkling, battle-of-the‐sexes comedy, Much Ado About Nothing. Triumphant in battle, Don Pedro and his men return to Messina. The Governor, Leonato, toasts their success by throwing a masquerade ball where well‐intentioned plots and evil schemes abound as enemies deceive lovers and friends trick friends in this lively summer comedy. “Friendship is constant in all other things, Save in the office and affairs of love.” Locked together in a ‘merry war’ Benedick, a confirmed bachelor and Beatrice, an avowed maid are resolutely set against marriage. However their friends have a plan. Their ‘will they, won’t they’ relationship is one of Shakespeare’s funniest and most famous love stories.
“ They never meet but there’s a skirmish of wit between them!”
Bring a chair and a picnic, buy a glass of something chilled from our bar and spend a glorious summer’s evening watching this funny, moving and fast‐paced production of one of Shakespeare’s best‐loved comedies. Performed in the open air, an all male cast with Elizabethan costume, music and dance, this is undoubtedly one of the hottest tickets of the summer.
Thursday 16 June - 7.30pm (picnic from 6.30pm)
Venue: The Spotlight in Broxbourne
Tickets: Adults £13.50, Under 16's £9.50
