Unfortunately, the performance of Much Ado About Nothing on Thursday 13 October at 1.30pm has been cancelled. Our Box Office team will be in touch with customers shortly. All other performances will go ahead as scheduled. Thank you.

‘I do love nothing in the world so well as you. Is not that strange?’

Besotted young couple Claudio and Hero have fallen fast and are quickly engaged. Not everyone finds romance so straightforward – Benedick balks at the very thought of it and Beatrice agrees with him, on that if nothing else. But somewhere in this world, there’s someone for everyone, even if they’re right under your nose.

Shakespeare’s raucous comedy is directed by Robert Hastie (Coriolanus, A Midsummer Night’s Dream). Every performance features the use of integrated creative sign language, audio description and captioning. All performances feature a relaxed environment.

Ramps On The Moon is the pioneering initiative committed to putting  deaf and disabled artists and audiences at the centre of their work.

We’ll be hosting touch tours before every performance apart from the Tue 11 Oct, 7.30pm and Sat 15 Oct, 7.30pm performances. Our Touch Tours enable Blind and partially sighted people to explore the stage, set, props and costumes before seeing the show. Touch Tours are free and take place one hour before the Audio Described performance starts. Find out more here.
