MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING 2011

16 June – 2 July

Much Ado About Nothing

“GSC bring out the sunshine...lively, occasionally poignant and often laugh-out-loud funny; it is absolutely not to be missed!" Remotegoat.com

What better way to celebrate our 5th anniversary than with the play that started it all off, Much Ado About Nothing.

Co-Founders Matt and Sarah reprised their roles of Beatrice and Benedick, amidst an early 20th century summer fete. Punch and Judy, Coconut Shy, Skittles and visiting local Morris Dancers created an immersive ‘roll-up’ festival atmosphere for our audiences. 

"Guildford Shakespeare Company yet again proves itself one of the strongest, most consistent companies operating in and around London.” Playshakespeare.com

“A visual feast. Not a dull moment from start to finish! It was like being carried along on the crest of a wave.” Audience member
