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 Scotney Castle this summer as they celebrate 25 years of outdoor touring. Bold, sexy, and unapologetically fun, Much Ado About Nothing is the perfect summer play.

This performance is an outdoor performance. We recommend that you bring blankets/chairs/cushions etc. to sit on.

Come prepared for the weather with warm coats and waterproofs etc, as the performance will continue come rain come shine!

We ask that you don’t bring umbrellas as these can obscure the view for other people in the audience.

The performance will last approximately 120 minutes (+ a 20 minute interval, refreshments will be available in the cafe.)

Picnics are welcome at this performance.
