Back in March QPARA made donations of £1,000 each to seven organisations supporting the local community. See this item for more information. One of the organisations is Shakespeare in the Squares, a not-for-profit touring theatre company that will stage a Shakespeare play in London garden squares for one night in each venue every Summer.
The 2016 production is Much Ado About Nothing.
The production will be a creative, ambitious, site-responsive project that places this remarkable play at the heart of the communities to which it travels, in the great tradition of Shakespearean touring companies. The play will be set at the end of the First World War and the action transferred to the venues where it is performed. The sense of community within the play will be echoed by a night of music, celebration and food.
The performance in Quuen’s Park will start at 7pm on Saturday 2nd July. Tickets are available now.
