REVIEWS

INFORMATION

Claudio loves Hero, and Benedick hates Beatrice. This is just as well, because Hero loves Claudio and Beatrice hates Benedick. Everyone laughs when Don Pedro plays a trick on Benedick and Beatrice, letting each think that they are secretly loved by the other. But it is no laughing matter when Don John plays a trick on Claudio and Hero, deceiving Claudio into thinking that Hero is not faithful to him. Murderous rage is unleashed, and death can be the only solution... Or can it? Perhaps one last trick may resurrect the innocent dead, restore broken relationships - and even create an unlikely union of Benedick and Beatrice!

After 15 successful years of touring, Illyria is still the only open-air touring theatre company to have won ANY awards at international level for their innovative Shakespeare productions - and they have won 4. The company has a deservedly unparalleled reputation for authenticity, clarity and pace, and perform this best-loved of comedies on their own unique Globe-style stage. Get out your picknick baskets and come to...
