This summer, we invite you to the shores of Sicily for the intrigue, wit and wisdom of Much Ado About Nothing - staged in the beautiful setting of Creake Abbey ruins by Moving Parts Theatre Company. 

It’s the 1960s, and change is in the air … on a sun-drenched island steeped in tradition, the old order is about to be shaken up by new spirit of liberation, as our thoroughly modern heroine, Beatrice, determines not to be “overmastered”. With original music inspired by everything from Sicilian Tarantella to Italian 1960s pop, this is one of Shakespeare’s best-loved comedies.

Enjoy a picnic and a glorious evening of high comedy, drama, inventive story-telling and toe-tapping tunes!  Tickets on sale now:
