Much Ado About Nothing By William Shakespeare.

Much Ado in a Cotswold Garden

Outdoor summer Shakespeare with a cast of thirty, live music woven through the performance, and a bar and BBQ overlooking the Cotswolds. Bruern Farms is exactly that kind of setting.

Branching Out Drama Society bring Much Ado About Nothing to the gardens at Bruern, directed by Mandyrae Jessey with original songs and music alongside the play. The Bruern Cafe runs an outdoor bar and BBQ through every performance, including the Saturday matinee. Bring your own chair or picnic rug — seating is first come, first served.

Four performances across three days: Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, plus a 3pm matinee on the Saturday. Adults £15, under 16s £7. They'll play in most weather — dress for it and leave the umbrella at home.
