Much Ado About Nothing

 
On Thursday July 24 Britain’s premier all-male theatre company, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men, will be visiting Kiplin Hall with their production of Much Ado About Nothing. This promises to be a sparkling evening’s entertainment, “A comic pleasure!”, reported the Bath Chronicle; “A must see production” - Surrey Advertiser.

Mark Puddle, the company’s founder and creative director, says the play, now in its sixth week of touring, is proving very popular with audiences. “It’s the perfect summer comedy and the company are very excited about the response to the show. It’s wonderfully entertaining, one of Shakespeare’s finest and our performances have once again been very favourably received.”

The production of this popular play by The Lord Chamberlain’s Men at Kiplin Hall, one of the area’s most beautiful open-air venues, offers audiences the perfect opportunity to see Shakespeare performed to the very highest standards, in the way the Bard first envisioned them...with an all-male cast! In a recent review the Western Daily Press said of this adaptation: “The best introduction to Shakespeare.”’

A brief plot synopsis...The men of Sicily return victorious from war. The waiting women are ready for romance. Couples form and summer weddings are planned. All is going smoothly in this delightful comedy, when a jealous brother sets a lie in motion. Suddenly betrayal becomes the theme, and audience favourites, Beatrice and Benedick, must now work together to save the honour of an innocent girl.

Members of the audience are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy this delightful opportunity to bring along picnics, deckchairs, and a glass of something chilled! Gates open at 6.30pm, performance commences at 7.30pm. Tickets are on sale at Adult £13, Concession £11, Child £7.50.

Editor’s Notice: Founded in 2004, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men company is the modern incarnation of Shakespeare’s original troop of the same name. Performing with an all-male cast, they aim to revive the traditions of Elizabethan theatre and to bring to life the greatest works of drama as they would first have been performed.
