Much Ado About Nothing
William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing comes alive in a fresh, enchanting production set amidst the lush beauty of Hobart’s Botanical Gardens.
This sparkling comedy unfolds under the Tasmanian sky, where fragrant blooms and verdant landscapes become the perfect backdrop for witty banter, romantic mischief, and dramatic intrigue. The contrasting love stories of Beatrice and Benedick’s sharp-tongued sparring and Claudio and Hero’s tender romance weave seamlessly through the garden’s natural splendour.
With clever deceptions, playful misunderstandings, and the vibrant charm of outdoor theatre, this production breathes new life into Shakespeare’s timeless exploration of love, honour, and the art of persuasion.
