Much Ado About Nothing
By William Shakespeare
Translated into modern verse by Ranjit Bolt for Play On Shakespeare
A community comes together after being apart for too long.
It's time to feel connected again – hug, party and dance.
But as old wounds open and rivalries resurface, not everyone's ready to celebrate.
And some aren't in the mood for love, or so it would seem…
Join us at Century for the UK premiere of this exciting new version of Shakespeare's sassiest comedy.
