The Snow-Globe is delighted to present our summer production, William Shakespeare’s uproarious comedy 'Much Ado About Nothing'.

Set in Messina, the play follows two pairs of lovers, who each face trickery and malicious schemes which threaten to derail their relationships. The wit and banter between characters makes this classic romantic comedy a delightfully amusing watch.
