Changeling theatre and Phoenix Community Events return to Margate Main Sands with this Shakespeare classic
6pm – 8.30pm
“Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.” (Hero, Act 3, Scene 1)
Shakespeare’s famous romcom gets a gothic makeover.
Glitz, glamour and scandal hit Messina in Changeling’s revival of Much Ado About Nothing. Think decadent costume balls and devious misdemeanours, in a play where love’s a battlefield and the gossip never stops.
Beatrice and Benedick swear they can’t stand each other. Hero and Claudio seem picture-perfect until a little drama crashes their party. Lurking behind the cocktails and confetti is one deliciously devious Don John stirring up trouble.
It’s sharp, it’s funny, it’s Shakespeare’s ultimate romcom with more twists, tunes and turns than you can shake a stick at.
Join Changeling in Summer 2026 as they celebrate 25 years of outdoor touring. Bold, sexy, and unapologetically fun, Much Ado About Nothing is the perfect summer play. There ain’t no party like a Shakespeare party…
“O, what men dare do! What men may do! What men daily do, not knowing what they do!” (Claudio, Act 4, Scene 1)
