Time travel to Shakespeare's time to watch one of his famous comedies, Much Ado about Nothing, in a replica of his original theatre.

It's a beautiful outdoor theatre and we will be in the standing space right in front of the stage. Even if you decide not to stay for the whole performance, it's worth coming along to experience some of it for yourself.

This 3-minute summary by the Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust is worth a watch as Shakepeare can be confusing at first with the unfamiliar names, language and custom....and to be honest many of his comedies rely on the characters getting very confused themselves!
