MUCH ADO ABOUT SHAKESPEARE

BA Acting & Fight Performance

Juliet’s back, tangled in a chaotic crash course of love, mischief, and AmDram. Can she survive love’s messy lessons in this fresh, funny Shakespearean remix?


Juliet’s back, and surprise – dying for a guy you met three days ago isn’t the epic RomCom she thought. Enter Puck and Mab, determined to give her a chaotic crash course in Love.

Can dreaming the perfect date make it real? Do actors know anything about love? Can Juliet face her mistakes and come out wiser—or at least less dead?

A vibrant blend of Shakespeare’s text and fresh verse, full of Midsummer nightmares, failed love spells, and plenty of “hey nonny nonnys”. And yes, we’re keeping all the ass jokes (it’s a donkey pun, don’t make it weird.)
