Shakespeare for Young Audiences: Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare
5 July, 1.30pm Captioned Performance
75 minutes of fast-paced Shakespeare.
RADA presents Shakespeare for Young Audiences: abridged plays brought to life for young people (14+) as well as anyone, of any age, who wants to get swept up in a high energy Shakespeare production.
Witty banter, romantic mix-ups, and a battle of hearts. As soldiers return home, sparks fly—some full of love, others full of gossip and lies. A sharp, funny tale of love nearly lost and friendships put to the test.
If you are teacher from a state school or if you work with a youth organisation and would like to bring a group, please contact outreach@rada.ac.uk.
