Join us for a staging of William Shakespeare’s comedy which features the roller-coaster of romance for the young couple Hero and Claudio, whose happiness is threatened with tragedy by the evil plots of the self-declared villain Don John. Opposite this, the matchmaker Don Pedro works to convert the witty Beatrice and Benedick who declare their dislike for each other, and are determination to remain single, into a ‘mountain of affection’ for each other.
