THE magic of Shakespeare is bought to life this week in a spectacular open-air production of Much Ado About Nothing.

The Bard’s best-loved comedy plays at South Hill Park from tomorrow to Sunday, July 21.

Produced by Freeflow Productions, it follows the fortunes of Don Pedro and his men as they arrive at the house of Signor Leonato.

The scene is set for romance, deception and the classic struggle between good and evil.

The evening is suitable for the whole family and will include fire-eaters, jugglers, musicians and dancers. Food will be available and there will be an opportunity to picnic in the grounds.

Tickets, starting at £12.50, are available from the box office on (01344) 484123.
