Much Ado About Nothing
Humber River Shakespeare returns this summer with the magic of outdoor theatre.
Bring your family, your friends, a picnic, and a blanket and prepare to be enchanted
as Shakespeare’s romantic comedy MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING comes to King. Set
in the heady and delirious times of the 1920s, the play is a tale of two loving relationships
– one youthful and impetuous, the other mature, cynical and guarded – the
courses of which are brought to the brink of disaster by machinations both innocent
and wicked. Expect an evening of unexpected shocks, laughter and outrageous liberties
in equal measure.
- Friday, July 17 and 24 Schomberg Agricultural Fairgrounds at 7 p.m.
- Saturday, July 18 King Township Museum at 7 p.m.
- Sunday, July 19 Cold Creek Conservation Area at 2 p.m.
