Much Ado About Nothing - in the Garden 27 July at 2 & 6pm
Much Ado About Nothing - William Shakespeare
Part of the Hampstead Summer Festival 2024


This summer, we invite you to the shores of Sicily for the intrigue, drama, wit and wisdom of Much Ado About Nothing.
The first two perfomances in 2024 were sold out so we added two July performances for disappointed customers.
Saturday 27th July at 2pm and at 6pm
Each performance will take place in the Garden of Keats House.
We provide chairs with food and drink from our local wine bar, or you can bring a picnic, rug and chairs or a combination!
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 new spirit of liberation, as our thoroughly modern heroine, Beatrice, determines not to be “overmastered”. With original music inspired by everything from Sicilian Tarantella to Italian 1960s pop, this is one of Shakespeare’s best-loved comedies, perfect for a visit to the garden at Keats House.
From the company that brought you last year’s Macbeth, you’ll know to expect an exciting and inventive approach to telling this wonderful story, which keeps both comedy and drama firmly at its heart. All three performances in 2023 were sold out, so we have added another one this year!
Reactions to Macbeth:
- “Oh how much we loved your performance! Looking forward to whatever you perform next year already.”
- “Magnificent performance last night in the beautiful evening sunshine! Well done to a terrific cast.”
- “Just a brilliant performance of Macbeth, by a fantastic cast."
