Much Ado About Nothing: A MAPPA MUNDI | THEATR MWLDAN CO-PRODUCTION |
A MAPPA MUNDI | THEATR MWLDAN CO-PRODUCTIONMuch Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare, At Theatr Mwldan, Cardigan 29 & 30 September @ 7.30pm and then touring the UK 29 September - 26 November “I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me.” Beatrice Theatr Mwldan is delighted to launch their 40th touring production to date this September - Shakespeares classic Much Ado About Nothing is the latest co-production between Theatr Mwldan and Mappa Mundi, which starts off a 37 date UK tour with two shows in Cardigan on 28th and 29th September. War is over and the thoughts of homecoming soldiers turn to love. However, as conflict on the home front ends, Britain’s women are rolling up their sleeves to face a fresh battle – the assertion of their new role in a previously male dominated society. One woman in particular is about to embark on her own merry war… Shakespeare’s popular comedy tells of two pairs of lovers. Headstrong Beatrice and proud Benedick live in staunch denial of their true feelings for each other, whilst lovesick Claudio and sweet, naive Hero are head over heels with devotion. But the path of true love never runs smooth, and with foul play and mischief afoot at the hands of devious villain Don John, this classic play promises plenty of scope for Mappa Mundi’s unmistakable style. Over the past two decades cult Welsh theatre company Mappa Mundi have built a reputation for gloriously irreverent, populist and accessible adaptations of classic theatrical and literary works. With a well deserved reputation for quality, originality and an engaging irreverence that continues to charm audiences and win fans UK wide, this is the company’s first Shakespeare production since 2005. Supported by the Welsh Government and the Arts Council of Wales through the National Performing Arts Touring scheme. Much Ado About Nothing will be at Theatr Mwldan, Cardigan on Thursday 29th and Friday 30th September at 7.30pm, tickets are £14 (£12 concessions).
