Saturday 1 July
Maldon Drama Group presents 'Much Ado About Nothing' at the Museum of Power
Maldon Drama Group is staging a production of Shakespeare's popular comedy Much Ado About Nothing - staging it under the stars at the Museum of Power.
It has been given a 1940s twist, set it in the East End of London at the end of the Second World War, as the locals welcome soldiers back from the frontline. As Claudio falls in love with Hero, will their plans be scuppered by the villainous Don John? Will Benedick and Beatrice admit their true feelings?
Doors open at 6pm, and the show starts at 6.30pm. Some seating will be provided but audience members are invited to bring their own camping chairs and picnics.
