Moving Parts Theatre Company is thrilled to revisit the gardens of Rauceby Hall with their invigorating new outdoor production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing from 7th to 9th June.

Set in the 1960’s on the sun-drenched shores of Sicily, protagonists Beatrice and Benedick engage in a battle of the wits that only love can put to rest.

The show sets its fun and thoughtfully adapted script to completely original music, inspired by everything from traditional Tarantellas to Italian pop, and performed by the actors themselves.

Among the cast is Sleaford local actor Andy Canadine, as the enticingly villainous Don John.

The company previously garnered much acclaim for their summer 2023 tour of Macbeth to various UK venues, including to Rauceby Hall.

One local theatre-goer said: “Oh how much we loved your performance! Looking forward to whatever you perform next year already”.

Producer Joanna Nevin is equally excited to return, saying: “We can’t wait to bring this comedy to Rauceby. We were overwhelmed by the incredible audience response to our production of Macbeth here last year and hope once again to immerse viewers in our inventive and authentic performance style.

"We’re lucky enough to be working with Jonny Hoare at Rauceby Hall, to bring Shakespeare at its liveliest to this beautiful venue”.
