Much Ado About Nothing - Gunnebo Castle

  • Gunnebo Castle Christina Halls väg Mölndal, Västra Götalands län, 431 36 Sweden (map)

"Much Ado About Nothing," Shakespeare’s sparkling comedy, will be performed at Gunnebo Castle by late August 2025. This witty yet profound play explores love’s folly and pain, blending light-hearted romance with darker themes of treachery, jealousy, and near-tragedy. The sharp-witted lovers Benedict and Beatrice navigate the limits of their humor, discovering deeper emotions, while a colorful cast of doting fathers, scheming villains, and bumbling policemen—reminiscent of the Keystone Cops—drive a whirlwind plot from love to near-destruction, redeemed by deception and comedy. Brought by TNT Theatre Britain and ADG Europe, praised as “the best touring theatre company in the world” (China National TV), this production, directed by Paul Stebbings, features live music blending Mozart and jazz, composed by Paul Flush. Known for vibrant, authentic renditions of Shakespeare’s works like Othello and Hamlet, the company delivers a fast, funny, and poetic performance that honors the classic without artificial modernization.
