Adaptivity Theatre Company presents
Much Ado About Not(h)ing
by William Shakespeare
Adapted by Kelly Wilson
Wednesday 27 August, 7.30pm

One of William Shakespeare’s most popular comedies, this adaptation of Much Ado About Not(h)ing, which originated at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 2017, explores what we take note of as a 21st century society. From dance choreography and movement to the original music featuring lyrics taken from Shakespeare’s text, there is plenty to catch the eye and ear in this production. The audience is invited to turn ON their mobile phones during the show. They can choose between viewing the performances of the actors onstage or within the digital world, accessed through Facebook on their mobile phones or a projection of the live Facebook newsfeed on a screen at the back of the stage. For those wanting to engage in a little mischief with the villains of the play, Joan and Borachio, there is a Messenger chat group the audience can follow, actively immersing them in the performance.
