KEVIS presents Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing (SOLD OUT)
About
Step into a world of glitter, jazz, and sparkling mischief as King Edward VI Handsworth School for Girls proudly presents Much Ado About Nothing—with a roaring 1920s twist!Set in a lively era of flappers, swing music, and glamorous parties, Shakespeare’s beloved comedy is reimagined in a dazzling new light. The sharp wit, playful romance, and outrageous misunderstandings you know and love are all here. At the heart of the story are two unforgettable couples. Sweet, romantic Hero and Claudio fall head over heels—until a devious plot threatens to tear them apart. Meanwhile, the brilliantly bickering Beatrice and Benedick trade insults, laughs, and perhaps more than they’d ever care to admit. Their romance sparkles with even greater charm when every party could hide a secret and every dance might lead to love… or trouble.
Expect stylish costumes worthy of the grandest Gatsby soirée, toe-tapping music that brings the era to life, and a talented cast who bring Shakespeare’s iconic characters bursting onto the stage with energy, humour, and heart. From masquerade balls to surprising schemes, every moment is packed with excitement, laughter, and just a touch of romance.
Whether you already love Shakespeare or are discovering him for the first time, this production promises a fun, accessible, and unforgettable experience. It’s a story about love, misunderstandings, and second chances—told with flair, wit, and a whole lot of jazz.
So grab your friends, dress to impress (if you dare!), and join us for an evening of glamour and comedy that proves some stories never go out of style.
The Saturday matinee on the 4th July will be a relaxed performance, suitable for babes-in-arms and people with sensory needs. During this Saturday performance, you will be able to come and go from the drama if needed, to feed a baby, use the bathroom, grab a snack, or chill out for a few minutes. The lights will be dimmer and the music will be quieter.
Don’t miss out—get your tickets now and be part of the party!
