Welcome to Messina – the war is over, the celebration has begun, love is in the air, and everything else is Much Ado About Nothing.

In tribute to 400 years since William Shakespeare death, The Queensland Theatre Company presents Much Ado about Nothing.

This Shakespeare play is a multidimensional study of love, betrayal and justice, all wrapped up in an ageless romantic comedy.

Perfectly casted, this modern day adaptation brings to life Shakespeare sharp tongued sparring between Benedick (Hugh Parker) and Beatrice (Christen O'Leary). Their friends, not fooled by their unrelenting war of words, riotously plot to bring the obvious pair together.



Will they or wont they stop arguing long enough to listen to the music and admit to their true feelings?

%%Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.%%
Shakespeare

The other pair is of course the young drunk on love Claudio (Patrick Dwyer) and Hero (Ellen Bailey). With eyes only for each other they are completely unaware of bitter Don John's plan to tear them apart.

This charming timeless comedy will have you grinning, giggling and rooting for these beloved characters all the way through to the end.

Brilliantly directed by Jason Klarwein, the show runs until the 15th of May. Buy your tickets now!
