Much Ado About Nothing

Moving Parts Theatre Company invites you to the shores of 1960s Sicily for the intrigue, drama, wit and wisdom of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.

  • Booking essential

It’s the 1960s, and change is in the air.

On a sun-drenched island steeped in tradition, the old order is about to be shaken up by a new spirit of liberation, as our thoroughly modern heroine, Beatrice, determines not to be “overmastered”.

With original music inspired by everything from Sicilian Tarantella to Italian 1960s pop, this is one of Shakespeare’s best-loved comedies, perfect for a visit to the Barn Theatre.

Moving Parts are a London-based theatre company who pride themselves on exciting and inventive storytelling.
