Having first opened its doors in 2008 under the leadership of founding Artistic Director Sir Peter Hall; this year Rose Theatre Kingston celebrates its 10th anniversary with a season of work including Much Ado About Nothing led by Mel Giedroyc and John Hopkin.

Don Pedro is victorious. The turf war in the city is won and the Mafia overlord brings his entourage to Messina, a luxury spa hotel deep in the Sicilian hills, to hide out, recover and party. While Leonato, the hotel owner, fawns over his clan boss, his daughter, Hero, wins the heart of the Don’s young protégé. Meanwhile, Beatrice, the no-nonsense, customer-experience manager, has unfinished business to see to with Benedick, Pedro’s commitment-phobic consigliere. But when Hero is disgraced, the party is over, love turns to hatred and new battle lines are drawn.

Much Ado About Nothing plays until 6th May 2018.
