What is Much Ado About Nothing about?
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 a new spirit of liberation, as our thoroughly modern heroine, Beatrice, determines not to be "overmastered". Featuring original music inspired by everything from Sicilian Tarantella to 1960s Italian pop.
Facts and critical acclaim
- The use of the word nothing in the title Much Ado About Nothing is actually a double entendre! Back in Elizabethan England, female private parts were often called ‘nothing’ as there was ‘no-thing’ there compared to a man's body.
- Much Ado About Nothing gave rise to the expression 'curiosity killed the cat'.
- The character of Dogberry was named after an unappealing English fruit.
