Folksy Theatre’s Summer 2012 open-air production of
Following last years “assured and enjoyable production” of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, Folksy Theatre are thrilled to be performing Shakespeare's much loved comedy ‘Much Ado About Nothing' at a number of beautiful outdoor venues throughout July and August 2012.
Two young lovers Claudio and Hero are to be married, meanwhile marriage seems inconceivable for the bantering Beatrice and Benedick, two of Shakespeare’s wittiest and most loveable pair of reluctant lovers, whose endless sparring threatens to keep them apart forever.
Bring along your picnics, blankets, folding chairs and friends and family to enjoy this wonderful production, which promises to be filled with live music, laughter and passion.
