Much Ado About Nothing

Much Ado About Nothing

Work:: Much Ado About Nothing (S4291)

After civil war Messina seems to have returned to peace with few casualties and a courtship holds the promise of reconciling the battle of the sexes in a well matched wedding. But the reconciliation's have been too hurried and soldiers can't return to the civilian world overnight.
Author Shakespeare

Production:: (T01693287516)

Messina, Sicily, 1958. Members of Italy's most notorious crime family are assembling at Leonato's estate. The wasteland of post-war Italy is making way for the seductive ?Dolce Vita'. Life has never been so good. The women are as beautiful as the men are dangerous; image and reputation are everything, style and superficial gratification take centre stage. But this is Sicily. The grip of honour, patriarchy, gossip and familial ties hasn't yet loosened. Any slip-up can have very serious consequences indeed.
