The American Drama Group and TNT Theatre are bringing Shakespeare’s beloved comedy Much Ado About Nothing to the Isle of Man this weekend.
Set against the backdrops of Peel Castle and Rushen Abbey Gardens, this production will take the stage on Saturday evening at Peel Castle.
It’ll be followed by a matinee performance on Sunday at Rushen Abbey Gardens.
Shakespeare
The timeless story follows a group of soldiers returning from war to a lively household in Messina, where new romances spark and old rivalries flare.
Central to the play are the witty and sharp-tongued Beatrice and Benedick, alongside the young lovers Claudio and Hero, whose entangled relationships are filled with scheming, hilarity, and heartfelt moments—proving once again that love conquers all.
Directed by Paul Stebbings and featuring a unique musical score by Paul Flush blending Mozart with jazz, this dynamic collaboration between TNT Theatre Britain and ADG Europe promises to be an unforgettable theatrical experience.
Vicky Dale, Business Development Manager for Manx National Heritage, said: “Manx National Heritage are delighted to be hosting Much Ado About Nothing in the spectacular surroundings of Peel Castle and Rushen Abbey.
“We encourage visitors to bring a blanket or chair, dress for the weather and pack a picnic to fully enjoy this very special outdoor event.”
