Much Ado About Nothing is
Shakespeare's most frequently performed comedy; packed with intrigue, double
crossing, traditional gulling, scintillating wit and with plenty of laughter,
it is the perfect introduction to Shakespeare.
It is one of his later plays and as such audiences will recognise
situations and sub-plots to be found elsewhere in his work. Its themes also
foreshadow some of those in the great tragedies, in particular concepts of
honour and deception, jealousy and its consequences, love gained and love lost.
The two central characters, Beatrice and Benedick have delighted audiences with
their verbal sparring since the play was first performed, indeed on more than a
few occasions the play was simply titled 'Beatrice and Benedick'. But to
lighten the mix there is also sparkling dialogue and earthy humour and in the
end the darkness of near tragedy is averted and the play ends in dancing and
laughter.

October 2019 production will be...
Hangmen
By Martin McDonagh

School
Thursday 31st Oct,
Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd November 2019 at 8.00pm
A whole new meaning to ‘The Swinging
Sixties’ |

What does the second best hangman do
on the day they’ve abolished hanging? How will he cope with NOT being
regarded as the best hangman in England? What will he do when a stranger lurks
in his pub, putting doubt on the last hanging that he performed?
Fourways is proud to be presenting the
best new play award winning black comedy ‘Hangmen’, a cracking comic
thriller, by Martin McDonagh, author of ‘In Bruges’ and the Oscar
winning ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’.
Perhaps the most line-by-line funny
play seen in years... Daily Telegraph
A savagely black comedy...

Martin McDonagh has not invented black comedy but is
certainly perfecting it… The Times
