Much Ado About Nothing

‘Men were deceivers ever.’
In this modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic comedy, two groups of conmen, led by the notorious Donna Pedro and Leonato, discover the consequences of letting love and ambition interfere with business. This rebirth sees The Bard’s words read like never before, as deception is combined with lightning wit and blossoming romance is blighted by jealous outsiders. While at every turn, we encounter villains that lie and cog and flout, deprave and slander…

“This modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic takes the story of love, lies and deceit to new levels… The work and passion that has gone into the production of this play is clear. It was collectively filled with stunning performances… a pat on the back to Payne for igniting a new spark into one of the most loved Shakespearean plays.”
