Experience Hills Youth Theatre’s 1920s-Inspired Much Ado About Nothing This August.

Hills Youth Theatre invites families, friends, and community groups to a sparkling, Gatsby-era take on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, brought to life by the senior cast (ages 15–18) in Stirling this August.

Set on a relaxed post-war country estate, this lively and humorous adaptation features 1920s-inspired costumes, quick wit, and a fresh, playful energy. With timeless themes of love, gossip, and mistaken identity, this classic comedy is reimagined with style and relevance for modern audiences, making it a fantastic night out for all ages.

To ensure the experience is accessible and enjoyable for everyone, group discounts are available, perfect for schools, clubs, or community organisations. Wheelchair spaces are also available.

The season opens Thursday 1 August, with just five performances, book now and enjoy an unforgettable evening of romance, laughter, and clever wordplay.

Why Audiences Will Love This Show:

• Be captivated by the sharp verbal sparring between Beatrice and Benedick, where each insult hides a deeper affection.

• Laugh out loud at a world full of mistaken identities, playful deception, and comic twists.

• Reflect on love, loyalty, and the power of second chances in a heartfelt conclusion.

Meet the Characters:

• Benedick (Beren): Witty and self-assured, yet surprisingly vulnerable as he stumbles into love.

• Antonio (Avah): Loyal and fiery, bringing strength and humour to every scene.

• Beatrice (Jaia): Independent and razor-sharp, with a presence that lights up the stage.

• Dogberry (Reece): The hilariously incompetent constable whose bungling saves the day.

• Leonato (Ryker): The wise and warm-hearted governor anchoring the emotional heart of the story.

Hills Youth Theatre looks forward to welcoming audiences to this vibrant production, whether attending with family, friends, or as part of a larger group.
