East London Shakespeare Festival presents Much Ado About Nothing at Applecart Arts
Sun-soaked mischief and romance under the Mediterranean stars; Much Ado About Nothing is set against the luxurious backdrop of a modern-day Messina. This opulent tale is brimming with wit, trickery and mischief, with heart coming out on top.
ELSF was founded by Waltham Forest-based actors, directors and producers Ursula Early and Rosie Ward in 2020. The company has been nominated for two Off West End Awards: Best Company for A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2021) and Best Ensemble for Romeo and Juliet (2023).
This summer, Much Ado About Nothing brings ELSF’s trademark contemporary twists and turns, high-energy party numbers and audience participation to more venues than ever before. The production is family-friendly, and people of all ages are welcome and encouraged. Much Ado About Nothing is directed by Rosie Ward and produced by Ursula Early and Rosie Ward.
An extensive community engagement programme offering a range of activities for local residents will run alongside the tour, with lots of opportunities to get involved, including Pre-show workshop - mask-making (to join in the masked ball) - for our younger audience members or those young at heart!
