We are reopening auditions for Much Ado About Nothing to fill the roles of Antonio, Conrade, and Margaret! (Antonio and Conrade can be doubled up).

If you're looking for a low-commitment, high reward May Week Production, then look no further than this camper-than-camp retelling of Shakespeare's classic, performed in the beautiful grounds of Girton College Fellows' Garden on Saturday 20th June

Synopsis
Much Ado is Shakespeare's classic comedy of gossip, romance, and disastrous misunderstandings. As soldiers return from war, two very different courtships unfold: Beatrice and Benedick are drawn into a battle of wit, while Hero and Claudio become the targets of a malicious scheme... The play balances comedy with high emotional stakes, featuring some of Shakespeare's most memorable characters and dialogue. It is not one to miss!

The roles:
Antonio: Leonato's brother, and Hero and Beatrice's uncle; a diplomatic elder gentleman who proves surprisingly ready to throw hands when Hero is wronged
Conrade: Don John's most loyal and devoted follower; a smaller role, ideal for someone who enjoys playing a sharp, scheming, and slightly camp villain
Margaret: Hero's gentlewoman, who becomes unwittingly entangled in Don John's plot; a lively comedic role with a flair for bawdy wit
