Join them in the gorgeous walled garden of the Cholderton Estate (or in the also very lovely barn if it rains very hard!) on the 1st October for an evening of Shakespeare full of fun & suitable for all the family.

The Show

Don Pedro returns from the wars to his old friend Leonato’s house. In his retinue are the dashing and promising soldier Claudio, and the infamously sarcastic Benedick. Though veterans of many a battle, these soldiers are ill prepared for the warfare that awaits them. In the world of wooing, where words are daggers, phrases poison and costume armour will they find their way through to a happy ending?

Much Ado About Nothing is a play about war in all its forms; the gentlemen of Don Pedro’s company, though veterans of the battlefield, are ill prepared for the incoming romantic combat. With a plot that includes courtly love, dastardly villains, original songs and ‘sportive tricks’, our adaptation is quick, funny, moving and vibrant.

Running Time: 2 hours (inc. interval)

“It really lifted my spirits… my heartfelt congratulations to you all.” Hugh Bonneville
