Much Ado About Nothing

Thursday 27nd and Friday 28th June @7pm

Saturday 29th June @ 2pm and 6pm.

A family-friendly open-air production by professional touring theatre group, The Moving Parts Theatre Company. 

This summer, we invite you to the shores of Sicily for the intrigue, drama, wit and wisdom of Much Ado About Nothing. 

It’s the 1960s, and change is in the air … on a sun-drenched island steeped in tradition, the old order is about to be shaken up by new spirit of liberation, as our thoroughly modern heroine, Beatrice, determines not to be “overmastered”. With original music inspired by everything from Sicilian Tarantella to Italian 1960s pop, this is one of Shakespeare’s best-loved comedies, perfect for a visit to the garden at Keats House.

From the company that brought you last year’s Macbeth, you’ll know to expect an exciting and inventive approach to telling this wonderful story, which keeps both comedy and drama firmly at its heart. All three performances in 2023 were sold out, so we have added another one this year!

Reactions to Macbeth:

“Oh how much we loved your performance! Looking forward to whatever you perform next year already.”

“Magnificent performance last night in the beautiful evening sunshine! Well done to a terrific cast.”

“Just a brilliant performance of Macbeth, by a fantastic cast."

Refreshments will be available before the performance and during the interval.  A perfect way to spend a summer afternoon or evening.  

[NB: Some of the ticket cost goes to supporting the actors after a hard year, and a proportion goes to the two beneficiary charities of the Hampstead Summer Festival].
