Much Ado About Nothing

The Museum of East Anglian Life is pleased to announce the first major outdoor theatre performance for Stowmarket, as Bury Theatre Workshop bring their production of Shakespeare’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ to the Museum grounds, the back lawn of Abbot’s Hall, on Friday 1st July 7pm and Saturday 2nd July 2pm and 7pm. The soldiers return to enjoy the comforts of home. Witty and determined bachelor Benedick encounters his old flame, the feisty Beatrice who is equally determined never to marry. Will the love that everyone but themselves can see they have for each other ever be requited? Meanwhile the much quieter Claudio falls instantly in love with Beatrice’s milder cousin Hero, and she with him, a far less complicated relationship you would suppose. But this match is not to the liking of the bitter and twisted Don John who plots the downfall of Hero on the occasion of her wedding day. This provides a darker side to the plot of one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies. Handsome courtiers, beautiful heroines, villainous baddies, drunken and bawdy servants, idiotic watchmen; Much Ado brings you all of this in, of course, the timeless and wonderful language of Mr Shakespeare. As they act out this story for you, you’ll see that what was funny in 1600 is still very funny now!
