CAUTION: CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE We had a great time recording Much Ado About Nothing - but it didn't always go to plan! Here's just a few of the moments that didn't make the final cut...

Shakespeare's rom com of mistaken identities, plots galore, and of course, enemies to lovers.  Nothing But Roaring present Much Ado About Nothing - all recorded separately in the performers homes during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021.  When old friends rock up at Leonata's lush Italian house, rivalries and romances are rekindled. Don Pedro and Donna Joan both have plans for battling Benedick and Beatrice, and loved up Claudio and Hero, but with very different intentions...  With their meddling going to plan, Messina is in shock - will everything get resolved when bumbling officers Dogberry and Verges are the ones left in charge of uncovering the plots?  Adapted, edited and directed by Rebecca Cockcroft Cast: Benedick - John Myhill Beatrice - Rebecca Cockcroft Leonata - April Pardoe Messenger / Ursula / The Watch - Sue Whyte Hero / Sexton - Julia Langley Don Pedro - Will Brown Donna Joan - Bex Fey Claudio - James Lickman Antonia / Verges - Erica Mynard Conrad - Bernadette Wood Borachio - Lou Chawner Margaret / The Watch - Mairead Kearins Dogberry - Fraser Haines Friar Francis - Elizabeth Palmer
