About

Following the success of A Midsummer Night's Dream on Hill of The O'Neill in 2025, Bardic Theatre returns with another dazzling outdoor production of Shakespeare's romantic comedy, Much Ado About Nothing.

From 27th to 29th August, prepare for an evening of wit, romance and razor-sharp banter as Shakespeare's most entertaining battle of words unfolds under the stars. Sparks fly between Beatrice and Benedick in a story packed with mischief, mistaken identity, and laugh-out-loud moments.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Hill of The O'Neill, this lively production promises unforgettable performances, vibrant energy, and a magical atmosphere.

Gather your friends and family and settle in for an evening where laughter rings out and stories come to life. Whether you're a lifelong Shakespeare fan or discovering the magic for the first time, this production offers something for everyone.

Book early as this is not to be missed! This event takes place in the covered outdoor Event Space. Please dress appropriately for the weather.
