Sharp wit and dangerously delicious rumours spark a chaotic, irresistible chemistry in this vibrant new staging of Much Ado About Nothing
The war may be over, but the sparring match of the century is only just beginning.
About Much Ado About Nothing
Beatrice insists she’s done with love – and especially with Benedick, yet the pair can’t help circling each other with verbal jabs so sharp they practically glitter.
Meanwhile, Messina’s glamorous façade is cracking as whispers spread, secrets slip through the cracks, and reputations tiptoe along the edge of disaster. Everyone’s pretending they’ve got it together…and absolutely no one does.
Set in a sun‑drenched world of effortless style, high social stakes and parties that stretch late into the night, Chelsea Walker’s bold take on Shakespeare’s sparkling comedy dives deep into the messiness beneath the glamour.
What emerges is a razor‑bright look at bad decisions, stubborn pride, bruised hearts and the courage it takes to start again.
