2024 Summer season

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

directed by Willis Taylor

Beatrice and Benedick enjoy nothing better than throwing insults at each other, but as they spar, their sizzling repartee begins to reveal their deep regard and mutual affection. Their new-found connection is challenged, however, when Beatrice’s niece Hero is wrongfully accused and abused. Set in the 1920s, an era of changing attitudes towards marriage and power, the play presents a society at once filled with progressive feminist impulses and opposing systems rooted in patriarchal values. Will truth and love win out?
 
Find out in this dazzling, music-filled production directed by GVSF favourite Willis Taylor. Willis first appeared in the GVSF as the Duke of Milan in Two Gentlemen of Verona (2019), and subsequently as the king in Cymbeline (2021) and as Jaques in As You Like It (2022), also writing and directing the music for both those productions. His career began in the UK, where he trained at the Young Vic, and has spanned 30 years of teaching, singing, directing and acting in Shakespeare.
