To commemorate 400 years of Shakespeare, Third Door Theatre brought one of the Bard’s most beloved and beguiling comedies to life at The Doncaster Playhouse.

'Third Door Theatre produce a well-polished and orchestrated performance of this delightful comedy. There are many great ideas in this show that are beautifully executed, especially the musical interludes which are delicate and well-timed.' (Stage Whispers)
​
​A play about the follies of love, marriage, mischief and revenge! Against the backdrop of a battle of wits betwixt the original bachelorette Beatrice and confirmed single-man Signor Benedick, there is much-ado in this merry adaptation about courtship and young love. A modern re-imagining of the classic text, honouring the original play in a contemporary context and style.

'A star danced, and under that was I born!' (Beatrice)
