Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing made accessible at Nottingham Playhouse




One of Shakespeare’s most-loved comedies, Much Ado About Nothing, is performed at Nottingham Playhouse next week.

The tale of love, mistaken identity and deceit is brought to life by Sheffield Theatres and Ramps On The Moon.

Besotted young couple Claudio and Hero have fallen fast and are quickly engaged.

Not everyone finds romance so straightforward ­— Benedick balks at the very thought of it and Beatrice agrees with him, on that if nothing else.

But somewhere in this world, there’s someone for everyone, even if they’re right under your nose.

Shakespeare’s raucous comedy is directed by Robert Hastie (Coriolanus, A Midsummer Night’s Dream).

Every performance features the use of integrated creative sign language, audio description and captioning, and all performances feature a relaxed environment.

This production of Much Ado About Nothing is made to be accessible to everyone, not just in terms of the creative access, but in making this 400-year-old play fresh and easy to follow.

It is performed from Tuesday, October 11 to Saturday, October 15.
