Much Ado About Nothing is a light-hearted romp set in Italy, telling the story of Benedict and Beatrice, Claudio and Hero and a raft of other characters. It was last performed by Shakespeare at Traquair 15 years ago, so we were delighted to be doing it again. Scott Noble, one of the original cast from 2003, directed the play.

Is there a better location for a masked ball than the beautiful grounds of Traquair House?
Matt Davies (Dogberry) and Verges (Boyd Wild) had to master a rather bizarre tricycle and never really did!
Traquair House is probably the real star of the show.
Rehearsals
Scott Noble was keen to have the rehearsals at Traquair House, so this meant some of the early ones were a bit snowy!
But the sun also shone and later rehearsals were blessed with lovely weather.
