Brought to you by Entertainment +, the upbeat and accessible adaptation transports one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies to modern day. This abridged version features the notable traditional set moments and modernday pop songs to make the experience both informative and relevant, keeping Shakespeare’s work enjoyable for all. Much Ado About Nothing will make you laugh, but will also make you fall in love with the world of William Shakespeare with all his wit and creativity. Paul Taylor-Mills directs an outstanding, sparkling, and memorable production. He manages to capture the audience with 12 very talented actors all coming from the UK. The voices, the acting, the wit and more, Much Ado like never before. He says: “What’s amazing is, that for a play that was written some 400 years ago, how the human behaviour is still very recognisable. What happens when you feel betrayed; what happens when you fall in love; what happens when you are tricked into believing something. William Shakespeare definitely had his finger on the pulse of human behavior and it is still very recognisable how people behave in these situations.” Show timings are at 6.45pm on March 9, 8.45am and 11.45am on March 10 and 11.30am and 6.30pm on March 12. Tickets, priced BD16, are available at Alosra supermarkets and Havajava Café inside Manazel. Call 39 616-858. Have you seen a cat with a red and white striped hat with plenty of tricks up his sleeve?
