Careless talk costs lives, and not just at war…

General Don Pedro is a ‘confirmed bachelor’ who loves love, leading him to act as matchmaker for the men he fought with. His brother, however, is not quite as romantically-minded. Watch what you say at the bar, because if Don John is around, your secrets might just get used against you. After all, all is fair in love and war!

Don’t miss Paul Chambers as Don Pedro and Cate Berry as Don John in ‘Much Ado About Nothing!’ opening in THREE DAYS’ TIME at The Kings Arms (25-29th August).

The war may be over, but Dogberry and Verges are still clinging on to their prestigious positions as members of the Home Guard. Maybe someone forgot to dismiss them or maybe they just can't let go of each other.... either way, any criminals, ruffians or arrant knaves best watch their backs, because they WILL catch you.

Very, very slowly.

Don't miss Hugo Lewkowicz and Samantha Grieve as Dogberry and Verges in 'Much Ado About Nothing!' at The Kings Arms 25-29th August. Tickets here: https://www.fatsoma.com/p/the-kings-arms/events

The year is 1945, and Beatrice is perfectly content avoiding romance at her Aunt Leonata’s jazz bar, drinking, smoking, and teaching her cousin Hero how *not* to be a respectable young woman.

When the men return from war, Bea couldn’t care less. She’s not interested in settling down or playing nice... Especially not with Benedick, an old rival who seems intent on arguing with her at every opportunity he gets.

But as vicious gossip spreads and an innocent woman's future hangs in the balance, Beatrice refuses to stay silent. As she confronts the injustice head-on, Benedick must learn that earning her trust - and maybe even her heart - will be no easy feat.

Following two sold-out shows at The Kings Arms, Sparrowfall proudly presents its third reimagining of a beloved Shakespearean classic: 'Much Ado About Nothing!'

Doors: 7:00pm
