Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies, and its setting, a Sicilian country estate, is one that adapts particularly well to outside performance.
Director Amanda McRaven and her team will create this setting in amongst the roses in the Victoria Esplanade, Palmerston North, as she tells this tale of romance, sexual tension, deceit and trickery.
This production marks the tenth anniversary of Summer Shakespeare which has become an eagerly awaited institution in the city and a vital part of Palmerston North’s cultural calendar. With some of Shakespeare’s wittiest dialogue, enhanced and supported by dance choreographed by Liz Kirkman, and music by Hannah Rohe, this year’s Summer Shakespeare promises to be an experience not to be missed.
Rose Gardens, Victoria Esplanade, Palmerston North. If the weather is wet, we will use the auditorium in the Old Main Building at Massey University’s Turitea Campus. Entry is by koha (gold coin donation).
