Director Chelsea Walker presents one of Shakespeare’s finest and best-loved comedies Much Ado About Nothing.

Revolving around two romantic pairings, the battle of wits between Beatrice and Benedick and the plot involving lovers Claudio and Hero, the play combines humour with the themes of jealousy, trust, and the importance of separating illusion from reality.
