Outdoor Theatre: Much Ado About Nothing
Changeling Theatre brings Shakespeare's best rom-com to the outdoor stage at Sissinghurst.
- Booking essential
There ain’t no party like a Shakespeare party… Glitz, glamour and scandal hit Messina in Changeling’s revival of Much Ado About Nothing. Think decadent costume balls and devious misdemeanours, in a play where love’s a battlefield and the gossip never stops.
Beatrice and Benedick swear they can’t stand each other. Hero and Claudio seem picture-perfect until a little drama crashes their party. Lurking behind the cocktails and confetti is one deliciously devious Don John stirring up trouble.
It’s sharp, it’s funny, it’s Shakespeare’s ultimate romcom with more twists, tunes and turns than you can shake a stick at.
Join Changeling at Sissinghurst this summer as they celebrate 25 years of outdoor touring. Bold, sexy, and unapologetically fun, Much Ado About Nothing is the perfect summer play.
