Much Ado About Shakespeare |
by
Peter Burnett
Synopsis
Much Ado About Shakespeare was a first for the Purple Theatre Company. No only was it the first time that it was staged, but it was also an original concept devised and brought to life by one of our members, Peter Burnett.
The show is a tale of love set against the backdrop of civil war in a burger bar, this new and highly original production is an affectionate and irreverent send-up of our nation’s most famous playwright. Witches, ghosts, villains, lovers and stirring speeches.
