Join us for a production of William Shakespeare’s comedy which features the roller-coaster of romance for the young couple Hero and Claudio, whose happiness is tragically  threatened by the evil plots of the villain Don John. Opposite this, the matchmaker Don Pedro works to conjure a ‘mountain of affection’ between the witty Beatrice and Benedick who declare their dislike for each other and for marriage.

Where: Lancaster Castle, Lancaster

When: Saturday 31st May and Tuesday 3rd to Thursday 5th June (2025)

Performances begin at (7pm). Tickets are £20 or £10 concessions and can be booked on the online store.

Note: We will also be holding open rehearsals in the Lancaster Suite in Lancaster Castle at which members of the public can get a taste of the production in progress on 26 -27 May and Bank Holiday Monday 2 June. These are free to attend. The Lancaster Suite can be found in the main Castle courtyard near to Atkinson’s café.
