Shakespeare’s comedy of mistaken identity and love Much Ado About Nothing comes to Manchester’s Royal Exchange Theatre from March 27 to May 3.
Set in a celebratory post-war world, where men and women are renegotiating new rules between the sexes, the action culminates in a joyful celebration of love.
Director Maria Aberg makes her Exchange debut, following successes with As You Like It and King John at the RSC.
She says : “For a play as joyous as this—in which community and celebration is so important—the Royal Exchange may well be the perfect theatre. A surprising and heartfelt evening about the rough and irresistible magic of falling in love.”
