Much Ado About Nothing

by William Shakespeare
directed by John Gilbert

What better end to a summer’s day than Shakespeare’s delightful comic romance, staged in the open air? York House Gardens make a perfect setting for the eavesdropping scenes, the famous verbal duels between Beatrice and Benedick, the villainous Don John, and Dogberry’s bumblingly incompetent watch.

This is our Open Air Show, in the gardens of York House. Have a picnic before the show or in the interval (wine, beers, Pimms and soft drinks on sale) and enjoy the lovely setting. Please bring your own rugs or chairs as none are provided for the performance.

What about the weather?
As you know English summers can be blazing hot or decidedly damp.
We intend to carry on with the show come rain or shine so please come suitably prepared.
It is very rare for a performance to be cancelled and never prior to the start time. In the unlikely event of a cancellation please retain your ticket so that it can be exchanged for another night.
