Much Ado About Nothing: The Countdown Is On!
The countdown has now begun!
The Globe on Tour is returning to Calderstones Mansion House this June for five remarkable performances of Much Ado About Nothing. Following last year’s showstopping version of King Lear, the Garden Theatre will once more be brought to life with one of Shakespeare’s liveliest and most well-loved comedies.
Performances

- Friday 13 June, 2:30pm
- Friday 13 June, 7:30pm
- Saturday 14 June, 2:30pm
- Saturday 14 June, 7:30pm
Driven along by a romance all the more charming for being in denial, Much Ado About Nothing is a miracle of comic and dramatic suspense and gives us, in the bantering Beatrice and Benedick, two of Shakespeare’s wittiest, most endearing pair of lovers.

Further information
This spectacular performance is taking place in Calderstones Mansion House Garden Theatre, and will go ahead in all but the most extreme weather conditions. Audiences are advised to prepare for any weather conditions – waterproof and warm clothing should be packed as necessary – and please bring a seat or picnic blanket with you to ensure maximum comfort.
A limited number of tickets may be available to purchase on the door for each performance – however, this will depend on demand.
Access to the performance space will be via the back gate at the back of the Mansion House, off the main path opposite the Coach House. We will have TRO volunteers on the day directing you to the entrance.
The Reader Café will be open until the start of the performance, we will also be serving light refreshments and ice creams at the interval.
